Abstract
Background Hemangiopericytomas (HPCs) are uncommon soft tissue tumors. HPCs that grow in the cranial base are rare. Therefore, skull-base surgeons tend to overlook this disease. This study aimed to increase the awareness of HPCs by summarizing case data from our institution and related publications. We also aimed to contribute to the number of reported cases for future systematic reviews of HPCs. Methods This study included all patients who underwent surgery for HPC/solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) between August 2015 and August 2019. All surgeries were performed at Xiangya Hospital Central South University. We analyzed clinical characteristics, surgical highlights, treatment modalities, and outcomes. Results We included six patients, aged 32–64 years. Lesions were located in the parapharyngeal space in three patients, pterygopalatine fossa in two, and saddle area in one. All patients underwent nasal endoscopic endonasal surgery. In five patients, tumors involved the internal carotid artery (ICA). The exposure and protection of the ICA during surgery are challenging but critical to complete tumor removal. The 3-year overall survival(OS) rate was 66.7%. Conclusions HPC/SFTs are rare tumors of the cranial base that are prone to recurrence. Cranial base HPC/SFTs are often closely associated with the ICA. To our knowledge, this case series reports the largest number of cases of HPCs associated with the ICA. We believe that there is a strong relationship between patient prognosis and whether the tumor encircles the ICA and whether the tumor is completely resected. To confirm this suggestion, more cases are needed for further analysis. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12893-022-01718-5.

Abstract
Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a vascular tumour which originates in the pericytes of vessels and therefore it may occur at any site, but it is very uncommon in the jaw. From January 2000 to December 2011, a retrospective analysis of nine consecutive patients with HPCJ was performed. There were five patients with a primary tumour and four patients with a recurrent tumour. Of the nine patients, eight were male and one female. Their ages ranged from 23 years to 51 years, with a median age of 38 years. The tumours were located in the mandible in six patients and in maxilla in three cases. The median course of disease was 7.6 months (range 2-12 months). All patients underwent surgery. Two patients had postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, and two cases were given postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 49 months (10-101 months). One patient suffered from lumbar metastasis, while another case had metastasis at local and multiple distant sites, and eventually died. There was no local recurrence or metastasis in other seven cases. HPCJ are rare and the clinical characteristics are not specific. The first choice of treatment is radical surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be effective to improve the prognosis of HPCJ.
