The authors describe a recurrent case of an hemangiopericytoma of the left serratus anterior muscle, touching a 21 year-old woman. The different ways of imaging are exposed and compared with data of literature. It seems that none of them offers any decisive possibility of nature diagnosis. Conversely, radiological examinations are of greatest interest in the initial lesional statement, in the follow up and in early discovery of a possible recurrence, principally in case of difficulties in the pathological examination. CT appears to have the first role among the different ways of medical imaging, initially and in the appreciation of clinical course.

Pedunculated hemangiopericytoma-like tumor: peculiar fibroepithelial polyp or fibrous histiocytoma variant.

Pathologists are continually challenged with the difficult task of discriminating between innocuous disease processes and potentially malignant entities. Apropos of this concern, we present a series of three cutaneous polypoid lesions that simulated fibroepithelial polyp, yet upon close scrutiny yielded histologic features of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) or hemangiopericytoma. These pedunculated lesions showed a storiform pattern of spindled cells with interspersed gaping vascular channels reminiscent of SFT or hemangiopericytoma.

Hemangiopericytoma is a slow growing insidious potentially malignant vascular tumor that can occur anywhere in the body. Primary localization in the infratemporalis fossa, an area deep in the face, is uncommon and difficult to diagnose and treat. We present two cases of hemangiopericytoma observed in the infratemporalis fossa and recall the epidemiological and clinical features of these lesions, discussion diagnostic and therapeutic options.

Glomangioma, or "glomic tumour" is a benign soft tissue tumour appearing most commonly at the distal extremities, in the nailbed and subcutaneous tissue. This is a vascular tumour, rare for the dermatologist, and exceptional in an ENT site. We describe here what is, as far as we can tell from the literature, the eighteenth case.

The localisation of hemangiopericytoma in the parotid gland is rarely seen. The anatomo-clinic diagnosis is sometimes difficult, this tumor keeps a prognosis generally uncertain. The autors mean to study through one observation of the location of the hemangiopericytoma in the parotid gland, the modality of therapeutic, diagnosis and evolutionary of these tumors.

We observed the case of a young woman with haemangiopericytoma in the subtemporal fossa. Diagnosis problems and the access route were discussed. Good exposure was achieved at the price of minor aesthetic and functional impairment.
