Literature Review and Case Report: Angiomyofibroblastoma of the Vagina

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMF) is a rare and benign soft-tissue tumor. 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 has 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.
