Intradural extra medullary hemangiopericytoma of dorsal spine.

AbstractPURPOSE:
Spinal hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm that behaves similar to intracranial hemangiopericytoma, with approximately 60 cases being reported in the literature of which only 10 are located in the intradural extramedullary (IDEM) location.
METHODS:
We report a rare case of recurrent IDEM hemangiopericytoma of dorsal spine in a 16-year-old boy treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.
RESULTS:
Patient is disease free at 5 years posttreatment with residual neurological deficit, but is able to carry out his activities of daily living.
CONCLUSION:
Gross total resection, if feasible, followed by radiotherapy is the initial treatment of choice as radiotherapy improves recurrence free survival as well as overall survival.
