Hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive mesenchymally derived tumor with oval nuclei with scant cytoplasm. There is dense intercellular reticulin staining. Tumor cells can be fibroblastic, myxoid, or pericytic. These tumors, in contrast to meningiomas, do not stain with epithelial membrane antigen.
Infantile hemangiopericytoma is a cutaneous condition characterized by single or multiple dermal and subcutaneous nodules that may be alarmingly large at birth or grow rapidly. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Signs and symptoms
A hemangioma or haemangioma is a usually benign vascular tumor derived from blood vessel cell types. The most common form, seen in infants, is an infantile hemangioma, known colloquially as a "strawberry mark", most commonly presenting on the skin at birth or in the first weeks of life.
Anaplastic meningioma and hemangiopericytoma are difficult to distinguish, even by pathological means, as they look similar, especially, if the first occurrence is a meningeal tumor, and both tumors occur in the same types of tissue. [citation needed]
A malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a form of cancer of the connective tissue surrounding peripheral nerves.Given its origin and behavior it is classified as a sarcoma.
Image of a solitary fibrous tumour that is most likely a hemangiopericytoma. It surrounds a staghorn-shaped blood vessel, which results from the arrangement of pericytes around the vessel. Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular neoplasm, or abnormal growth, that may either be benign or malignant. In its malignant form, metastasis to the lungs ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used in spinal nerve sheath tumor diagnosis. [1] Each nerve sheath tumor type has a few different associated features on MRI imaging. Neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors can be difficult to distinguish from each other and may require additional testing, including PET scans ...
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a cavernous hemangioma that arises in the central nervous system.It can be considered to be a variant of hemangioma, and is characterized by grossly large dilated blood vessels and large vascular channels, less well circumscribed, and more involved with deep structures, with a single layer of endothelium and an absence of neuronal tissue within the lesions.
