Hemangioperycytoma is a rare perivascular tumor that seldom involves the urogenital system. This tumor often appears with an unspecific clinical picture, and sometimes is associated with hematuria or hypertension. Diagnosis is based on a combination of histological and immunohistological findings. We report a case of a 52-year-old patient with renal hemangiopericytoma who underwent surgical treatment at our service. This report also includes a literature review on the subject.

Article Synopsis
  • Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare tumor typically found in extremities, linked to low serum phosphorus levels and a condition called hypophosphatemic osteomalacia.
  • A presented patient had a long history of osteomalacia, leading to a serious bone fracture; tests indicated low phosphate levels and no parathyroid issues.
  • After surgical removal of a tumor found in the sinonasal cavity, the patient's lab results normalized, symptoms resolved, and no recurrence was noted in a six-month follow-up.

Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are highly vascularized, slow-growing, rare benign tumors (WHO grade I). They account for about 2% of intracranial neoplasms; however, they are the most common primary cerebellar tumors in adults. Another frequent seat is the spinal cord (2-10% of primary spinal cord tumors).
