Myopericytoma is a rare perivascular soft tissue tumour. It is usually benign and typically in the distal extremities.{{cite journal |vauthors=Zidane A, Arsalane A, Harkat A, etal |title=[Myopericytoma: an uncommon chest wall tumor] |language=fr |journal=Rev Mal Respir |volume=27 |issue=9 |pages=1089–91 |date=November 2010 |pmid=21111282 |doi=10.1016/j.rmr.2010.09.017 }}

It is thought to overlap with myofibroma.{{cite journal |vauthors=Dray MS, McCarthy SW, Palmer AA, etal |title=Myopericytoma: a unifying term for a spectrum of tumours that show overlapping features with myofibroma.
