case_images: Complete excision was undertaken ( Figure 3).
case_images: Photomicrograph of tissue taken from the lesion excised from the patient, showing characteristic spindle cells forming perivascular rosettes and staining with smooth muscle actin (SMA).

case_images: Positive staining for smooth muscle actin (SMA) was highly suggestive for myopericytoma ( Figure 4), and the lack of mitotic cells or tissue necrosis confirmed its benign nature.
