It is critical to identify this clinical picture and treat any active bleeding.

Hemangiopericytomas represent a small subset of soft tissue sarcomas. They rarely originate in the spleen as a primary tumor with only ten cases having been previously described. The difficulty of predicting the prognosis and clinical behavior of these lesions has been repeatedly stressed. The literature concerning this rare and unusual neoplasm is reviewed.

The possible causes include hemorrhage from a highly vascular neoplasm pathological splenic rupture hemorrhage or rupture of an ovarian cyst rupture of the gestational sac or other affected anatomic part in an ectopic pregnancy bleeding from a vascular lesion anticoagulation therapy blood dyscrasias surgery and invasive procedures. It is critical to identify the clinical picture and treat any active bleeding promptly 1 .
