ABSTRACT
Myopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumor found in the subcutaneous and superficial
soft tissues in the extremities. The present study reports a unique case of myopericytomas
found in the first and second toes of a patient. The masses were surgically excised,
and on pathologic and immunohistochemical examination, the diagnosis of myopericytoma
was made. At the follow-up visit, the patient had no recurrence of the soft tissue
tumor.
