Abstract:
Glomanigiopericytoma is a rare vascular neoplasm with a perivascular myoid phenotype. It is rarely found in the neck but most commonly in the nose and paranasal sinuses. We experienced a case of 72-year-old man who presented a 5-year history of a right neck mass. The pathologic diagnosis was glomangiopericytoma. We removed the mass transcervically and the patient showed no postoperative problem. We report this case with a review of literature.
