Abstract
Angiomyofibroblastoma(AMFB) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that predominantly affects the vulvovaginal region,
commonly diagnosed in middle-aged women. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations remain essential
for accurate diagnosis. AMFB typically exhibits slow growth and a low recurrence rate after complete surgical excision.
We report a case of vulvar AMFB in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting the diagnostic challenges associated with this
uncommon tumor.

Introduction
Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign mesenchymal
tumor that predominantly affects the vulvovaginal
region in a woman, particularly those in their
reproductive years." It has been reported as a rare
tumor, with limited incidence and data available
emphasizing its uncommon nature. It frequently
develops in the vulva, though it can be found in the
perineum and vagina? The first case series of this
tumor was published by Fletcher et al. in 1992.
Clinically, angiomyofibroblastoma presents as a
painless, slow growing mass, which can be mistaken
for other benign conditions like Bartholin’s cyst,
lipoma, hemangioma, fibroma, leiomyoma.* This case
report discusses a 23-year-old woman with
pedunculated vulvar lump, surgically excised and
diagnosed as AMFB, underscoring the importance of
considering AMFB in the differential diagnosis of
vulvar masses.
