ORBITAL HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA - A RARE CASE REPORT

Hemangiopericytomas are tumors whose origin is still being debated. Their occurrence is rare and they are reported as case reports. Their occurrence in orbit is very few. They are malignant tumors capable of recurrence and metastasis. Their radiological features are identical to meningiomas. Transcranial transorbital approach is particularly useful in selected cases like a tumor arising from roof of orbit. Complete excision with wide local clearance is necessary to prevent recurrence.
