Hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are rare tumors derived from mesenchymal cells with pericyte differentiation. About 5% of head and neck HPCs occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Due to its rarity, rich vascularity and variable biological behavior, its management is a challenge in itself.
We report a case of sinonasal HPC in a Jehovah's Witness patient and discuss the obstacles and care related to the restrictions and therapeutic challenges involved in the approach to the patient. The patient was successfully treated by endoscopic endonasal approach with all per-operative care and restrictions being respected and attended.
The management of HPC by itself involves challenges and when associated with other restrictive conditions attention and care are required.

我们报告了一例耶和华见证会患者的鼻腔鼻窦 HPC,并讨论了与患者治疗相关的限制和治疗挑战相关的障碍和护理。该患者通过内镜经鼻入路成功治疗,所有围手术期护理和限制均得到尊重和处理。
HPC 的治疗本身就存在挑战,当与其他限制条件相关时,需要注意和护理。
