Hemangiopericytoma is a mesenchymal neoplasm originating from the pericyte, a cell type that surrounds the capillaries. Its
primary localization in the lung is extremely rare.
A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital complaining of cough and non-massive hemoptysis from 2 months earlier.
She was a nonsmoker with a history of close contact with sheep and a dog. On physical examination, she had reduced
respiratory sounds in the left upper zone. Her chest x- ray revealed a mass in the left middle and upper zones. CT-scan of
the lungs revealed a parenchymal mass with -4 to 20 (HU) densities. Hemagglutination test was negative for hydatid cyst.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was normal; therefore, the patient underwent surgical operation. The pathology of the mass was
primary pulmonary hemangiopericytoma. (Tanaffos 2009; 8(2):59-63)
