Hemangiopericytomas are soft tissue tumors of pericyte origin that line the capillaries and venous intima. It accounts for less than 1% of all brain tumors, but has a high rate of recurrence and metastasis even after complete resection. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for an examination of a right lung nodule following surgery for cerebral hemangiopericytoma. This case underwent open lung biopsy by video-assisted thoracic surgery, and metastatic hemangiopericytoma was revealed. No new pulmonary metastases have since been detected, and the patient is currently under a strict follow-up protocol.We report a surgical case of pulmonary metastasis, which is rare in this disease.
