Abstract

We are reporting an uncommon clinical case of primary pleural hemangiopericytoma, of which only a few reports have been published in the literature to date. A 40-year-old woman was treated by complete surgical resection of the tumor. No recurrence or metastasis was detected during follow-up at 12 months after the resection. The postoperative pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of primary pleural hemangiopericytoma. Details of the clinical and radiographic feature are presented.
