Abstract
Hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon tumor that occurs mostly in middle-aged adults.
There have been only sporadic case reports of splenic involvement, and in all but
one the treatment has been total splenectomy. We present a one-month-old boy with
splenic hemangiopericytoma treated with partial splenectomy. This is the youngest
case in the literature, and there has been no recurrence noted after two years of
follow up.
