A rare penile lump: A case of recurrent myopericytoma

Open Access

Abstract

Myopericytoma is a rare, slow-growing, benign perivascular tumour that typically arises in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial soft tissue, most frequently in the lower limbs. Involvement of the genitalia, particularly the penis, is exceptionally rare with very few cases reported worldwide. We present a case of a 35-year-old immune-competent male who developed a painless lump over the glans penis. Excision biopsy revealed histological features consistent with myopericytoma. Nine months later, a recurrent lesion was detected adjacent to the original excision site. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with rare soft tissue neoplasms, the importance of considering myopericytoma in the differential diagnosis of penile masses, and the need for complete excision with long-term follow-up to prevent recurrence.
