title: [Giant diaphragmatic hemangiopericytoma. A case report].
abstract: A 47-year-old man presented with dyspnea and pain in the right lower thorax. The thoracic radiography and the MRI exam were suggestive for a giant tumor located in the right supradiaphragmatic region. Surgical exploration revealed a diaphragmatic pediculated tumor, hyper-vascularised, weighting 4.8 Kg and measuring about 27 / 18 cm, that was removed with difficulty due to adherences and bleeding. The histopathologic examination showed multiple capillary and arteriolar vessels, included in masses of round and fusiform cells (pericytes), having multiple nuclear abnormalities.
