Objective:

We evaluated a 14 years old male patient with a right nasal hemangiopericytoma regarding clinical features, therapeutic methods and prognosis.

Case Presentation:

The patient was first diagnosed at the age of 8 years old with a nasal tumor (biopsy revealing nasal hemangiopericytoma). Clinical signs and symptoms included anterior epistaxis, hyposmia and intermittent right nasal obstruction. The tumor was removed but by midfacial degloving technique performing a medial maxillectomy.

Results:

Follow-up period was 48 months after surgical resection. The patient is without recurrence.

Conclusions:

Nasal hemangiopericytomas are rarely found in the nasal cavity. The long-term evolution during childhood represents a particular aspect.
