Abstract
Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare tumour of the cental nervous system. Previously, HPCs were thought to originate from meninges and ventricular walls. Currently, they are accepted as distinctive mesenchymal neoplasms unrelated to meningiomas. Imaging appearances, clinical progression and haemorrhage into a cystic tumour is documented in an 18-year-old man where the final diagnosis, with histopathological verification, proved to be a cystic HPC. This interesting and illustrative case is discussed with the relevant literature.
