Abstract

Myopericytoma is a rare tumour which typically presents as a benign lesion that mimics features of other more common vascular tumours and malformations. We present a case of a symptomatic diffuse myopericytomatosis of the left abdomen presenting as multiple subcutaneous vascular tumours detected on ultrasound and treated with ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy.

Keywords: dermatopathology; myopericytoma; myopericytomatosis; sclerotherapy; ultrasound.
