The authors describe the mammographic and B-mode and color Doppler sonographic findings in a breast hemangiopericytoma in a 49-year-old woman. High vascularity was noted on color Doppler scans with the presence of a single vascular feeding pedicle. An update of the literature is included.

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Hemangiopericytoma (HP) is an uncommon vascular tumor that rarely develops in the liver. We present the case of a 68โyearโold female with a primary HP involving the right lobe of the liver, detected during an abdominal screening sonography. The lesion was further evaluated using multidetector CT. The patient was treated with a right hepatectomy, and a pathologic diagnosis was made. Two years later, there was no evidence of recurrence. ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009
