Abstract
VARELA, Rodolfo; GARCIA, Herney Andres and CORTES, Vanesa. Testicular hemangiopericytoma, solitary fibrous tumor: a very rare case. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2010, vol.63, n.9, pp.816-819. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objective: To describe the case of a patient with paratesticular hemangiopericytoma and to perform a bibliographic review. Methods: We describe the case of a patient with paratesticular hemangiopericytoma. We conducted an exhaustive literature review in different databases to support the case discussion. Results: We present the case of a 64 year old male with a progressively growing mass in the right scrotum that underwent complete resection of the mass. The result of the pathology report was hemangiopericytoma / solitary fibrous tumor and we present the treatment. Conclusions: We present a rare case of paratesticular hemangiopericytoma. Most of these have a benign outcome, but one must take into account the criteria of malignancy to make decisions regarding their management.
