Abstract:
It is well known that intracranial hemangiopericytoma commonly metastasizes elsewhere in the body, especially bone and lung. However, brain metastasis of extracranial hemangiopericytoma is very rare. The authors report a case of intracranial metastatic hemangiopericytoma from pelvis in a 41 year old woman. Neurogic symptoms developed 14 months after discovering the pelvic mass. After surgical excision, the clinical course was improved.
