摘要
Myopericytoma (MPC) is a benign soft tissue tumor that develops from perivascular myoid cells and is part of the perivascular tumor group. MPC most commonly occurs in the subcutaneous soft tissues of the extremities, while intracranial MPC is remarkably rare. Herein, we report the case of a 45-year-old woman with myopericytoma who had a 2-week history of recurrent dizziness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an irregular mass in the pons, with nodular enhancement of the mass on contrast-enhanced scans. The mass was considered a vascular lesion and was highly suspected to be a hemangioblastoma, prompting surgical intervention for the patient. The postoperative pathological report corrected the initial diagnosis, hemangioblastoma, to MPC. Intracranial MPC is extremely rare and there are no detailed imaging sources for this condition; furthermore, MPC occurrence in the pons has not been reported previously. This report presents the etiological characteristics intracranial MPC as visualized through MRI data alongside a comparative discussion on other reported diagnoses that resemble MPC. The case findings will provide a more widespread understanding for radiologists regarding the differential diagnosis of intracranial blood-rich supply lesions.
