Abstract | PURPOSE: 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: 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.
