ABSTRACT
Hemangiopericytoma is a rare vascular tumor arising from the adventitial pericytes of the small capillaries. Hemangiopericytomas primarily affect adults and are rare in infants and children. Both genders are equally affected. The most common anatomic locations for hemangiopericytoma are the lower extremity, axilla, pelvis, retroperitoneum, and head and neck. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for hemangiopericytoma. The occurrence of this tumor in the vulva is rare, and to our knowledge we report the first case of a hemangiopericytoma arising from the vulva in Korea
