title: Renal hemangiopericytoma: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon perivascular tumor that occurs most frequently in the pelvis, head and neck, and meninges; it is extremely rare in the kidney. We report a kidney hemangiopericytoma in a 43-year-old woman who was treated with a nephron-sparing surgery and review the literature.
