Cerebral haemangiopericytomas are rare tumours that resemble meningiomas but behave more aggressively, with a tendency to metastasize. We report two patients with haemangiopericytoma who had limited surgical resections owing to perioperative blood loss but who had massive tumour shrinkage after a course of radical radiotherapy. We suggest a more conservative surgical approach to the management of these tumours.
脑血管外皮细胞瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，类似于脑膜瘤，但行为更具侵袭性，有转移倾向。我们报告了两名血管外皮细胞瘤患者，他们因围手术期失血而进行了有限的手术切除，但在接受一个疗程的根治性放疗后肿瘤大量缩小。我们建议对这些肿瘤的治疗采用更保守的手术方法。
