Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare vascular tumor arising from the pericytes of Zimmermann and is characterized by its unpredictable and variable biological behavior. These tumors are common in the trunk and the extremities and less than 16% of the cases occur in the head & neck region. Its occurrence in the oral cavity and pharynx is uncommon. We report an extremely rare case of haemangiopericytoma of the oropharynx arising from the tonsillo-lingual sulcus as a pedunculated mass, which was successfully excised perorally after a preliminary tracheostomy. No recurrence has been noted on a follow-up of more than six years.
