Introduction and importance Myopericytoma (MPC) is a rare benign soft tissue neoplasm that arises from perivascular smooth muscle-like myoid cells that share features of both glomus and smooth muscle cells. It usually slow growing solitary tumor that might mimic aggressive sarcoma. Case presentation 45 years old male, with unremarkable medical history, presented with fast growing mass on the left 1st webspace that was noticed 6 months prior to presentation. Investigations with US and MRI showed highly vascular solid mass that was worrisome for malignant lesion. Surgical excision was done and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of myopericytoma. Clinical discussion MPC is a rare perivascular neoplasm that’s reported mainly in the extremities with lower limbs are most affected sites. Usually it presents as solid painless slowly growing mass. However, Multiple papers reported different rare presentations like multiple, painful and some with malignant transformation. Conclusion MPC is a benign tumor that might mimic aggressive sarcoma. Such cases should be approached with high suspicion and proper investigation and management should be followed promptly.

“…The occurrence of MPCs in the hand is uncommon. In a systematic review and case report by Morzycki et al, only 22 cases of hand and wrist MPCs were reported, with just six previous cases located in the finger [ 5 ]. A more recent review by Lim et al in 2022 described an additional two cases of finger MPCs [ 6 ].…”

This report describes the case of a 29-year-old male who presented with painless swelling on the volar aspect of his right middle finger. The initial clinical impression was consistent with an epidermal inclusion cyst. A plain radiograph of the lesion revealed a circumscribed superficial nodular soft tissue mass confined to the dermis of the affected finger. Following surgical excision and subsequent histopathologic examination, the lesion was ultimately identified as a myopericytoma (MPC). The occurrence of MPCs in the finger is uncommon; thus, a high level of suspicion is required to consider it as one of the differential diagnoses for painless nodules in this anatomical location. Surgery serves as the primary method for treatment, and histopathologic evaluation plays a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis and ruling out malignancy.
