Abstract

Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon soft tissue vascular neoplasm. Intraperitoneal hemangiopericytomas such as primary or secondary liver location have been exceptionally described. Its natural history is mostly benign, but recurrences may occur and determining if these late-discovered tumors are distant metastases or synchronous slow and silent-growing locations is sometimes challenging. The histopathological diagnosis and definition of hemangiopericytoma is based on its distinction with solitary fibrous tumors. Liver resection to treat liver hemangiopericytoma seems to be supported by various published experiences. We herein report the first case of liver metastases from a subcutaneous temporal hemangiopericytoma. The patient was treated by a liver resection. CD34 Immunostaining was negative, but strong expression of Bcl2 and CD99 was found in the neoplastic cells. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient is alive without recurrence. To date, published data, including the case herein reported, support the need for a prolonged follow-up and the role of liver resection to treat liver metastases of hemangiopericytomas. Complete resection of all gross disease appears to be the most significant prognostic factor.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
