Abstract
Purpose:
A 31-year-old woman with a mass at the left inner canthus was referred to our hospital.
Methods:
Clinical examination failed to establish a diagnosis and the patient underwent an incisional biopsy.
Results:
Histopathologic examination disclosed a hemangiopericytoma.
Conclusions:
Because the behavior of a hemangiopericytoma is unpredictable, this tumor should be included when making a differential diagnosis in lesions of the inner canthus.
