A RARE CASE OF OMENTAL HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
A hemangiopericytoma is a rare, soft-tissue tumor of vascular origin derived from a pericyte of Zimmerman, which is a modified smooth muscle cell that surrounds the small blood vessels. Hemangiopericytomas can occur wherever there are vascular capillaries. However hemangiopericytoma from omentum is very rare. We describe a case of a hemangiopericytoma found in the lesser omentum. A 53-year-old man presented with pain abdomen, lump abdomen. Preoperative imaging indicated that the tumor was in the lesser sac without invasion of other organs. A complete resection was performed. The histological pattern supported the diagnosis of a hemangiopericytoma. A complete resection is the best way to treat a hemangiopericytoma. Recognizing the presence of a hemangiopericytoma in the lesser omentum requires appropriate surgery.
