title: Intradural extra medullary hemangiopericytoma of dorsal spine.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Spinal hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm that behaves similar to intracranial hemangiopericytoma, with approximately 60 cases being reported in the literature of which only 10 are located in the intradural extramedullary (IDEM) location.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a rare case of recurrent IDEM hemangiopericytoma of dorsal spine in a 16-year-old boy treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patient is disease free at 5 years posttreatment with residual neurological deficit, but is able to carry out his activities of daily living.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Gross total resection, if feasible, followed by radiotherapy is the initial treatment of choice as radiotherapy improves recurrence free survival as well as overall survival.
