title: Myopericytoma of the neck: sonographic appearance and sonographically guided needle biopsy.
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.
