Soft tissue tumor case studies

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMF) is a rare and benign soft-tissue It belongs to the group of genital mesenchymal tumors mostly occurring in lower genital tracts of young to middle-aged women [1].These tumors occur primarily on vulva, perineum, vagina, uterine cervix [2-4] and the inguinoscrotal regions of men [5].There are only few cases described with primary occurrence in the pelvis or retroperitoneum [6,7].It should be differentiated from aggressive angiomiyxoma, cellular angiofibroma, and other myxoid tumors of genital tract [6,8], in which radical surgical treatment is needed.Rare recurrences of AMF after excision have been reported in the literature [9].We present a case of a polypoid, firm, pedunculated and mobile vaginal mass that originated from left lateral vaginal wall, diagnosed to be vaginal angiomyofibroblastoma.
