Abstract:

Myopericytoma (MPC) is a rare, benign tumor often presenting as a cutaneous growth commonly in the lower extremities. It is distinguished by its concentric layering of spindle shaped myoid appearing cells perivascularly. This case study reviews the presentation of a 35-year-old male with a slow-growing, pre-tibial lesion developing over a 5-year period. This lesion was symptomatic and demonstrated vascular involvement on ultrasound scan. This lesion measured 1.2 cm × 0.5 cm × 1.2 cm histologically. The histological findings in correlation to clinical presentation led to a diagnosis of MPC.
