    Abstract:
    Hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor deriving from capillaries and pericytes. Although it is a well established entity clinically and histologically, its occurrence in the central nervous system adhering to the meninges has been controversial. We described a case of a 39-year-old man with intramedullary hemangiopericytoma. To the best of our knowledge, no previous case of hemangiopericytoma in this location has been reported. We reviewed differential diagnosis of spinal hemangiopericytoma based on neuroradiological points, and clinical findings of the 14 primary cases reported in the literature. The nosological problem of hemangiopericytoma was also discussed.
