Ann Thorac Surg. 1997 Feb;63(2):537-9. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(96)00935-6.

Abstract

We treated a 79-year-old woman with hemangiopericytoma of the chest wall. This is a very rare entity, with only a total of 12 cases including our case reported in Japan. There is a predominance of women (10 female patients and two male patients) and a predilection for the right side (9 in the right side and 3 in the left side).
