Abstract

 Introduction: Hemangiopericytoma is a tumour derived form pericytes. It is a rare and highly vascular tumour. It commonly arises in lower extremities. Materials and Methods: A 53 year old male presented with complains of recurrent melaena. OGD showed a 3x3x2 cm (approx) growth in the distal stomach, which bled on touch. Partial gastrectomy was done. Result: Hematoxylin & eosin stain of sections showed thin walled ramifying blood vessels, anatomizing blood vessels with typical staghorn pattern. IHC panel: Cytokeratin: Negative, SMA: Negative, Desmin: Negative, CD 34: Focally Positive, Vimentin: Strongly positive Conclusion: Hemangiopericytoma of the stomach is very rare. Only 30 cases have been reported in the world literature. The diagnosis is mainly by histomorphology. IHC confirms the diagnosis.
