A rare intraocular hemangiopericytoma was diagnosed in a pediatric patient presenting with eye pain and vision loss. This case highlights the importance of considering this tumor in the differential diagnosis of pediatric eye masses.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Intraocular hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor.
  • Diagnosis typically involves advanced imaging and histopathology.
  • This condition is exceptionally uncommon in pediatric patients.

Observation:

  • A 10-year-old girl presented with left eye pain and decreased vision.
  • Imaging revealed a smoothly elevated, circumscribed ciliochoroidal mass.
  • MRI showed characteristic signal intensities on T1 and T2 weighted images.

Findings:

  • Gross examination of the enucleated eye confirmed a sharply circumscribed intraocular mass.
  • Histopathology identified a well-vascularized spindle cell proliferation.
  • The findings were consistent with hemangiopericytoma.

Implications:

  • This is the third reported case of intraocular hemangiopericytoma.
  • It is the first documented instance in a pediatric patient.
  • This case expands the understanding of hemangiopericytoma presentation and emphasizes its occurrence in younger individuals.
