Introduction.
Myopericytoma is a very rare perivascular tumor that can be presented with painful mass in lower extremities.
We aimed to present an atypical presentation and location of myopericytoma.
Presentation of Case.
An 18-year-old otherwise healthy individual was admitted to outpatient clinic with complaints of numbness and pain in his right hand.
He has had no trauma.
On volar aspect of his right hand, a well-circumscribed, painful mass was palpated.
MRI results were related to hemangioma.
Surgical excision was planned and performed.
Pathological investigation revealed the mass is myopericytoma.
Discussion.
This case demonstrates a rare location and presentation of myopericytoma.
Reviewing the literature, discussion was made to expand the horizon for diagnosis and treatment of patients with similar symptoms.
