Abstract
Myopericytoma (MPC) is an uncommon benign neoplasm of the skin and soft tissues belonging to a spectrum of tumors that are histologically recognized by their distinctive perivascular myoid cell differentiation. These distinct tumors are more prevalent among middle-aged males, and they arise more frequently in the subcutaneous tissue of the four extremities. In this paper, myopericytoma is reported in a 59-year-old Saudi male, presented with a painless small cyst involving the left ankle suspected clinically to be a ganglion cyst. Following surgical excision of the cyst, the diagnosis of myopericytoma was made based on the histopathological pattern of the disease. This paper focuses on the clinical and histopathological findings of myopericytoma and emphasizes the importance of immunohistochemistry as well as molecular testing in reaching the final diagnosis.
