Myopericytoma of the coronoid process: a case report and review of the literature
Myopericytomas (MPCs) are rare tumors that originate from perivascular myoid cells and are typically found in middle-aged men. MPCs are most commonly found in the distal extremities, but a number of reports indicate that MPC can occur in the head, neck, and oral cavity. Here, we report a case of a 1...
