Abstract:
Hemangiopericytoma of the kidney is rare. It seems to be slowly progressive and grows locally with 5cm consistency and well encapsulation, and may infiltrate surrounding tissue but the incidence and degree of its malignancy appears to be low. Herein we report a case of malignant renal hemangiopericytoma associated with asymptomatic hypoglycemia and presenting radiologically as a hypovascular mass which was developed from the left kidney in 32 years old sea man who was treated with radical nephrectomy and chemotherapy.
