Abstract:
Hemangiopericytoma is a relatively uncommon vascular tumor. It was first described by Stout and Murray in 1942. Here, we report a case of a primary prostatic hemangiopericytoma, which has been reported approximately <10 cases. This may be the first case of a prostatic hemangiopericytoma in Korea. A 35-year-old male patient presented with an episode of dysuria and perineal discomfort over the past 3 months. The radiological and histological features indicated a malignant hemangiopericytoma. Systemic chemotherapy was selected as the primary treatment. After 5 cycles of chemotherapy, the size of masses of the prostate and lung decreased. Four months after then, the patient died from hemoptysis.
