Recurrence of glomangiopericytoma in infraorbital region.

Glomangiopericytomas (GPCs) are rare spindle cell neoplasms that usually develop in the sinonasal tract and possess a low malignant potential. Although rare, most cases have been found in various areas of otolaryngological importance, notably the deep neck spaces, eyes, larynx, tongue and middle ear. However, no cases of recurrence of infraorbital GPC have been reported in the literature. Total surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Nonetheless this condition recurs in cases of incomplete excision. Because of the rarity of the disease and its prevalence, early detection and care are critical, especially in atypical presentations that necessitate a high level of clinical suspicion. Here we present our first case of recurrence of infraorbital GPC, highlighting management protocols and challenges.
