A case of intestinal hemangiopericytoma is described. This localization is extremely rare. Clinical presentation consisted of upper digestive hemorrhage and abdominal mass; 9 months after surgical removal, the patient presented a single liver metastasis located in the left lobe, which was resected. Twenty-one months after the first surgical procedure the patient shows a favorable outcome. We review the literature and discuss this exceptional form of hemangiopericytoma, as well as its outcome.
