Abstract
Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm which was first described by Stout and Murray in 1942 as a vascular tumor derived from the pericytes. They account for 2–3% of all soft tissue sarcomas in humans and they occur mainly in the musculoskeletal system. 15–30% of all hemangiopericytoma occur in the head and neck region. Only 5% are located in the sinonasal region, where they display a more benign behavior than in other parts of the body.
Case Report: Herein, we are presenting an extremely rare case report of hemangiopericytoma in a 32-year-old male with a brief overview regarding its epidemiology, macro- and microscopical characteristics, the clinicopathological findings and the treatment of this extremely rare vascular neoplasm.
Conclusion: Conclusion rests with the inclusion of the possibility of such rare vascular tumors in the possible differential diagnoses of the various peripheral soft tissue lesions. An early diagnosis thus helps in the effective management of such lesions without further bringing changes on the subjacent and adjacent structures and tissues including bone.

Keywords: Hemangiopericytoma, Pericytes, Vascular neoplasm
