Patients or subjects . A patient with long history of meningeal hemangiopericytoma was reported. Methods . A case report on meningeal hemangiopericytoma with a literature review was presented. Results . The patient has multiple local recurrence as well as distant metastases.This is the first case report of metastatic meningeal hemangiopericytoma causing compression of the pancreatic head.The patient also has biopsy-proven pulmonary metastases.The patient received both local and systemic therapy. Discussion . It is important to recognize the distinctive features differentiating meningeal hemangiopericytoma from meningioma. The positive impact of clinico-pathological correlation on patient management is emphasized.
