Uterine hemangiopericytoma is extremely rare. This article describes a case of uterine hemangiopericytoma. The tumor involved the parauterine vein; extended into the inferior vena cava, right cardiac cavity, and pulmonary artery; and metastasized to the lungs. It was irregular in shape and exhibited the string-of-beads sign on echocardiography, and it was tightly attached to the right ventricular surface and pulmonary artery wall. The patient underwent tumor resection without adjuvant treatment. A pelvic nodule was found 3 months postoperatively and was considered a recurrent lesion.
