Abstract | We describe here a patient with a recurrent hemangiopericytoma of the superior mediastinum 23 years after an initial complete resection. In the current biopsy specimen, the tumor cells were much more anaplastic than those seen 23 years ago. Although the patient was treated with chemotherapy, which consisted of ifosfamide and epirubicin, the tumor was unresponsive and he died 6 months later from disease progression. Careful long-term follow-up is mandatory for patients with hemangiopericytomas because recurrence with greater malignancy can develop following an extended disease-free interval. |
