Myopericytoma is a slow-growing, benign soft tissue neoplasm that arises from perivascular smooth muscle cells. This tumor is a rare entity itself, but it is only scarcely mentioned in the literature occurring secondary to trauma. The authors report a 21-year-old male patient who presented with a pulsatile mass in the medial canthal area where he had experienced previous trauma from a car accident 1-year prior. The mass was excised and histopathology revealed myopericytoma. This clinical report adds to the limited body of evidence supporting trauma as an etiology for this rare tumor.
