J Clin Ultrasound. 2011 Oct;39(8):469-72. doi: 10.1002/jcu.20827. Epub 2011 Apr 15.

Abstract

We report the imaging and pathologic findings of a case of myopericytoma of the neck in a 70-year-old woman, which was diagnosed by ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy. The mass demonstrated homogeneous intense enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT and was markedly hypervascular on power Doppler sonography. The histopathological findings of the core biopsy were consistent with myopericytoma.
