Urology. 2008 Apr;71(4):755.e9-12. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2007.10.066.

Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon perivascular tumor that occurs most frequently in the pelvis, head and neck, and meninges; it is extremely rare in the kidney. We report a kidney hemangiopericytoma in a 43-year-old woman who was treated with a nephron-sparing surgery and review the literature.
