Аннотация
PURPOSE: To report a unique presentation of hemangiopericytoma and discuss the clinical course, pathological features, and management of this tumor.
OBSERVATIONS: An otherwise healthy 54-year-old Caucasian female presented with a painless conjunctival mass. The lesion gradually enlarged over a three-week period and was unresponsive to corticosteroid treatment. The mass was surgically removed, and histopathologic findings were consistent with hemangiopericytoma.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Conjunctival hemangiopericytoma should be considered in patients with conjunctival lesions unresponsive to medical management. Surgical excision is diagnostic and therapeutic and is the strongest predictor of clinical course. Incompletely excised lesions are at a greater risk of local recurrence and subsequent metastasis. Given the neoplasm's malignant potential, patients should be followed in the outpatient setting.
