Summary

Primary central nervous system hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor. This case highlights successful surgical and radiotherapy treatment for a sellar hemangiopericytoma, with no recurrence at one year.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Primary central nervous system hemangiopericytoma (CNH) accounts for <1% of all primary brain tumors.
  • CNH diagnosis is histological, with surgical excision and radiotherapy as standard treatment.
  • Long-term surveillance is crucial due to high recurrence and metastasis potential.

Observation:

  • Sellar location for CNH is exceptionally rare.
  • CNH in the sellar region can be misdiagnosed as pituitary adenoma.
  • A patient with sellar CNH underwent transsphenoidal surgery, followed by right frontal craniotomy and radiotherapy.

Findings:

  • Histological diagnosis confirmed CNH.
  • Multimodal treatment approach was employed.
  • No tumor recurrence was observed at the one-year follow-up mark.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering CNH in sellar mass differential diagnoses.
  • Successful management of rare sellar CNH is achievable with a combined surgical and radiotherapy strategy.
  • Adherence to long-term follow-up is essential for monitoring CNH patients.
