ABSTRACT
Myoepithelioma-like hyalinizing epithelioid tumors are rare neoplasms that share morphological characteristics of myoepitheliomas but lack traditional immunophenotypic findings. Though little is known about these tumors at present, a handful of recent studies have confirmed that they harbor a novel fusion gene known as "OGT-FOXO." Though closely resembling myoeptheliomas, Myoepithelioma-like hyalinizing epithelioid tumors are considered a distinct tumor entity, and few studies have explored their clinical characteristics or their potential for malignancy. Furthermore, literature describing imaging findings of these tumors is virtually non-existent. Understanding the radiological and pathological differences between Myoepithelioma-like hyalinizing epithelioid tumors and myoepitheliomas is helpful in developing a comprehensive differential for soft tissue neoplasms of the foot. We describe a case of MHET of the foot and correlate MRI findings with pathology in addition to describing surgical technique and implications to care.
