[Myopericytoma: an uncommon chest wall tumor]

Abstract

Myopericytoma is, according to the World Health Organisation classification of soft tissue tumours, a recently proposed term describing a group of tumours showing a perivascular myoid differentiation. It is a rare tumour with a predilection for the distal extremities and is often misdiagnosed. We report a new case of myopericytoma located exceptionally in the chest wall together with a review of literature.
