  • Title: Myopericytoma of the Base of the Finger: Radiological and Pathological Description of a Rare Benign Entity.
    Author: Van Camp L, Goubau J, Van den Berghe I, Mermuys K.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2019 Jan; 44(1):69.e1-69.e5. PubMed ID: 29678425.
    Abstract:
    A previously healthy 46-year-old woman presented with a mass lesion between the bases of the fourth and fifth fingers of the right hand. The mass had grown progressively over 2 years and started to cause practical difficulties in everyday life. Imaging depicted a hypervascular and well-circumscribed soft tissue tumor with imaging characteristics of a sarcoma. The lesion was treated surgically. The final diagnosis of the specimen upon pathology was a myopericytoma, a benign smooth-muscle cell neoplasm. Myopericytoma is a rare disease entity; however, it is important because it can mimic more ominous conditions.
