Hemangiopericytoma is a mesenchymal neoplasma, originated from pericytes---a cell type surrounding capillaries. Primary localization in the lung is especially rare. We report two cases of hemangiopericytoma of the lung with a completely different clinical outcome: one patient with an asymptomatic, peripheral lung tumor, 18 months disease-free after radical surgical therapy and another one with an advanced lung tumor, that infiltrated the pulmonary artery and caused distant pulmonary metastases. Based on the case report, possibilities and difficulties in the diagnosis as well as therapy of this rare primary pulmonary tumor are discussed.
血管外皮细胞瘤是一种间叶性肿瘤，起源于周细胞——一种围绕毛细血管的细胞类型。原发于肺部极为罕见。我们报告两例肺部血管外皮细胞瘤，其临床结局截然不同：一例患者肺部周边有无症状肿瘤，根治性手术后18个月无病生存；另一例患者肺部肿瘤进展，侵犯肺动脉并导致远处肺转移。基于该病例报告，探讨了这种罕见的原发性肺肿瘤在诊断及治疗方面的可能性与困难。
