Haemangiopericytoma is a very rare slow-growing vascular tumour with a variable malignant potential, constituting less than 1% of all neoplasms. It may arise from any blood vessel and in any organ of the body. Primary haemangiopericytoma of bone is even rarer, constituting about 0.1% of bone tumours. The tumour is extremely rare in Africans and particularly in the head and neck region.
