Abstract
This rare tumour arises from proliferation of pericytes which invest capillary endothelium. It has tendency to develop recurrence and metastases. Stout (1912) reported first case of haemangiopericytoma. Since then only 23 cases have been reported in the literature. We present one case of haemangiopericytoma of the nasal cavity.
