Pre-tibial myopericytoma: a case report

Abstract

Myopericytoma (MPC) is a rare, benign tumour often presenting as a cutaneous growth commonly in the lower extremities. It is distinguished by its concentric layering of spindle shaped myoid appearing cells perivascularly. These cells diagnostically stain positive to alpha smooth-muscle actin and rarely positive to desmin stain. This case study reviews the presentation of a 56-year-old male with a slow-growing, pre-tibial lesion developing over a 7–8 year period. This lesion was asymptomatic and demonstrated vascular involvement on ultrasound scan. This lesion measured 19 × 15 × 9 mm histologically and contained bland spindle cells surrounding vessels that interestingly stained positive to both alpha smooth-muscle actin and desmin. The histological findings in correlation to clinical presentation and imaging led to a diagnosis of MPC.

Automatic Test Sequence Generation and Functional Coverage Measurement From UML Sequence Diagrams

“…Once the "]" vertex of the sub-ESG is reached, the control of the flow is transferred back to the parent ESG. Lübke (2006) first introduces a meta-model for UML use cases written in the Cockburn template (Cockburn, 1998). Then the work proposes a method to transform such UML use cases into eventdriven process chains (EPC) (Aalst, 1999).…”
