Issue Date: | 2000 | Journal: | Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología | Abstract: | Purpose/methods: We report a case of orbital hemangiopericytoma, in a 14 year-old boy. Neuroradiological findings, including those of computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography are detailed. Results/conclusions: Diagnostic imaging showed a well-circumscribed and solid mass with an intraconal location. The tumor was grossly purple, richly vascularized and encapsulated. The histological study revealed a hemangiopericytoma of borderline grade with hypercellularity and moderate number of mitotic figures. We emphasize the rarity of the orbital hemangiopericytoma specially when it is located within the muscle cone. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48509 | ISSN: | 0365-6691 | Source: | Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología[ISSN 0365-6691],v. 75, p. 701-704 |
