Establishing Rare Diagnosis of Myopericytoma of The Foot

Abstract

Myopericytoma is a benign tumor that consists of oval to spindle-shaped myoid-like cells with a strong proclivity for concentric perivascular growth. Due to the mild nature of the disease, myopericytoma is often difficult to diagnose and might be overlooked. We reported a 59-year-old female who presented severe and persisting pain in the fourth toe in the last 4 years. The diagnosis is not considered initially due to clinical symptoms of pain without any significant growth of the toes hence the patient was initially diagnosed with ganglion cyst. However, further, a combination of clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination concludes the diagnosis of myopericytoma.
