title: [Rib Metastasis from Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma: Report of a Case].
abstract: A 65-year-old man had undergone the surgical treatment for intracranial hemangiopericytoma(HPC) in 2011. In June 2013, the X-ray abnormality in health examination was pointed out. Chest Computed tomography shows a 30 mm-sized tumor lesion with bone destruction in the 6th left rib bone. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography revealed no lesion except for the tumor. Surgical resection of the rib tumor was performed in July 2013. Pathologically it was diagnosed as bone metastasis of HPC. The postoperative course was uneventful, but multiple bone metastases were found 6 months after surgery.
