Abstract
To report a case of an epibulbar hemangiopericytoma that appeared clinically as a firm nodule. We examined a 28-year-old man with a 5-year history of a gradually enlarging red, firm epibulbar nodule. Excisional biopsy was performed. Histopathology identified an encapsulated hemangiopericytoma. Eight-year follow-up showed no recurrence postresection. Epibulbar hemangiopericytoma is rare and has a good prognosis after resection. The smaller size and more conspicuous location of epibulbar hemangiopericytomas may lead to relatively early treatment and account for a more favorable prognosis.
