Abstract
We treated a 79-year-old woman with hemangiopericytoma of the chest wa ll. This is a very rare entity, with only a total of 12 cases includin g our case reported in Japan. There is a predominance of women (10 fem ale patients and two male patients) and a predilection for the right s ide (9 in the right side and 3 in the left side).
