Abstract

Haemangiopericytomas involving the parotid gland are uncommon and those arising from the gland itself are rare. Three examples of primary parotid gland hemangiopericytoma are presented. The biological course of parotid or periparotid haemangiopericytomas does not differ from that manifested by their counterparts arising from somatic soft tumours.
