ABSTRACT
Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare, myxoid tumor of the vulva. To date only 12 cases have been reported in the world literature. Patients are usually premenopausal and present with a vulval mass initially diagnosed as a Bartholin's cyst. The lesions are well circumscribed and range from 0.5 to 12 cm in size. Microscopically the tumors are characterized by high cellularity, numerous blood vessels, and plump stromal cells. Treatment is by surgical excision. There are currently no published reports of local recurrence or metastatic disease. Angiomyofibroblastoma should be differentiated from other neoplasms of the vulva where radical surgical treatment is indicated. A Case Report of angiomyofibroblastoma of the periclitoral region diagnosed in a postmenopausal woman is presented.
