Introduction
Solitary fbrous tumor also known as benign fbrous mesothe-
lioma or submesothelial fbroma, is sub-classifed under existing
mesothelial tumors [1]. Sinonasal hemangiopericytomas are vari-
ant of solitary fbrous tumors. They are rare vascular neoplasms
of the outer wall pericytes of Zimmermann cells that lie external
to the reticulin sheath of capillaries and constitute around 1%
of all angiogenic tumors [2]. Here we report a 21 year old male
with sinonasal hemangiopericytoma. We performed a wide local
excision without the requirement of pre-operative embolization.
To our knowledge this is the frst of its kind presentation of the
neoplasm requiring external approach for excision.
Report
A 21 year old male patient came to us with complaints of a swell-
ing over medial canthus of the left eye extending upto the left
bony dorsum and bridge of the nose since one and a half years.
On examination it was 2x3 cm frm, non fuctuant, non transillu-
minant and pinkish brown swelling with a discharging sinus over
its surface (Figure 1). The discharge was serosanguinous and non-
foul smelling. He also gives complaints of blurring of vision in
the left eye with normal eyeball movement, probably due to mass
leison. Other complaints of nasal obstruction, epistaxis, fever and
weight loss were absent.
A CT scan was done to know the extent of the swelling and it
revealed breach into the left anterior ethmoidal sinus while the left
medial orbital wall was intact. Also anterior and posterior ethmoi-
dal arteries were seen as feeding vessels to the tumor (Figure 2).
The patient was taken up for surgery and a wide local excision of
the lesion was done. A curvilinear incision was taken below the
swelling and was dissected from all the sides maintaining hemo-
stasis (Figure 3). The mass was excised completely and the skin
was sutured in layers. The mass was sent for histopathological
examination. It showed neoplastic cells tightly packed with hy-
perchromatic nuclei which were situated around endothelial lined
vascular spaces. There was presence of perivascular hyaliniza-
Abstract
Solitary Fibrous tumour represents a spectrum of mesenchymal tumors, encompassing tumors previously termed as heman-
giopericytomas. They are vascular neoplasms of outer wall pericytes of Zimmermann’s capillaries. These tumors presumed to
be of fbroblastic differentiation, seen most commonly in adults and can occur at any site. We report the case of a young adult
male presenting with a swelling over medial canthus of left eye with a discharging sinus. Wide local excision was done and the
diagnosis was confrmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry.
