Abstract

A case of hemangiopericytoma of the cheek in a 5 -year-old child is reported. Twenty-two cases of this tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region have been reported in the Japanese literature and only 2 occurred in childhood.<BR>The tumor was excised with the skin and oral mucosa. As of 20 months after the operation, the patient has remained free of recurrence and metastasis. However, careful follow-up is required, because this tumor may recur and metastasize after surgical excision, even in the apparent absence of malignant histologic features.
