Pelvic hemangiopericytoma: the role of diffusion weighted imaging in targeting the biopsy site and in monitoring the tumour response to radiotherapy

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in imaging, the accurate characterization of soft tissue tumours remains a challenging task. Furthermore, the interpretation of post treatment changes and evaluation of tumour response to therapy is another complicating issue regarding soft tissue tumour imaging. CASE RE...

description BACKGROUND: Despite advances in imaging, the accurate characterization of soft tissue tumours remains a challenging task. Furthermore, the interpretation of post treatment changes and evaluation of tumour response to therapy is another complicating issue regarding soft tissue tumour imaging. CASE REPORT. Herein, a patient with a pelvic hemangiopericytoma, by whom different diagnostic imaging methods were used, is presented. CONCLUSIONS: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) might provid useful information in guiding biopsy and enabled monitoring of the radiation therapy results.
