Abstract: Myopericytoma is a rare benign tumor arising from cells surrounding blood vessels, typically found in the lower limbs. Its occurrence in the hand is unusual and can present with symptoms due to limited space. We report a case of a middle-aged man with a painful swelling in the first web space of the left hand. Imaging revealed a well-defined soft tissue mass, and surgical excision was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of myopericytoma. The patient recovered well with no recurrence at six months. This case highlights the importance of considering myopericytoma when evaluating soft tissue masses of the hand and demonstrates that complete excision offers effective treatment.
