Abstract:
Myopericytomas are slow-growing tumours typically arising within the dermis and soft tissues of the distal extremities. We present the first reported case of an extra-testicular myopericytoma. A man in his 50s presented with a 10-year history of a right hemiscrotal mass. Ultrasonography demonstrated a solitary, vascular, extra-testicular lesion, and serum tumour markers were normal. The patient underwent complete surgical excision, and histopathological analysis confirmed a benign myopericytoma. At fourteen months postoperatively, there was no evidence of recurrence. This case expands the recognised anatomical spectrum of myopericytomas and reinforces complete surgical excision as a curative treatment.
