title: Soft-tissue myoepithelioma of the hypothenar region: a case report.
abstract: Myoepithelial tumors only recently have been recognized as occurring primarily in soft tissue, and only a few cases have been described in the literature. The occurrence of these tumors in the hand is even more limited. In this article, we review the clinical, radiologic, and histologic features of a benign myoepithelioma of the hypothenar region of the left hand.
