Haemangiopericytoma is an aggressive vascular tumour with a high propensity for recurrence and metastasis. It typically occurs in the soft tissues of the extremities and trunk, and is rarely seen in the oral cavity. A case of haemangiopericytoma of the hard palate is presented. A 48-year-old woman presented with a gradually enlarging mass on the left side of her hard palate for 3 months. CT scans revealed a mass on the left side of the hard palate which extended to the nasal cavity and left maxillary sinus by causing erosion in the bones. Due to the possibility of local recurrence and occasional metastasis, a wide local excision was performed. There was no recurrence over 1 year's follow up.
血管外皮细胞瘤是一种侵袭性血管肿瘤,具有较高的复发和转移倾向。它通常发生在四肢和躯干的软组织中,在口腔中很少见。本文报告一例硬腭血管外皮细胞瘤。一名48岁女性因左侧硬腭肿物逐渐增大3个月前来就诊。CT扫描显示硬腭左侧有一肿物,通过侵蚀骨质扩展至鼻腔和左上颌窦。由于存在局部复发和偶发转移的可能性,遂行广泛局部切除。随访1年无复发。
