Hemangiopericytomas are rare tumors. They are originated from pericytes of the small vessels and can appear anywhere in the body. it is difficult to determine whether they are malignant or not from the histological picture. The tumor's location is highly influancial on the metastasizing rate which usually varies from 50 to 80%. Loca! recurrences approximately 50 percent of the cases. Since radio and chemotherapy are less effective, hemangiopericytoma is preferably surgically treated. in this article, an interesting hemangiopericytoma case is presented. A patient with primary lesion in his left arm, with pulmonary metastasizing hemangiopericytoma
treated with surgical exision and chemotherapy and is still alive ten years after the first diagnosis is reported.
