Abstract EN
Introduction.
Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare, benign, mesenchymal cell tumour which presents as a slow-growing mass.
It is most commonly seen in the vulva and is often mistaken for Bartholin’s abscess.
It is histologically diagnosed by the presence of stromal cells intermingled with small blood vessels.
It is morphologically similar to cellular angiofibroma and aggressive angiomyxoma, the latter of which is locally invasive and has a possibility of metastasis and a high risk of local recurrence.
There is one reported case of an AMFB undergoing sarcomatous transformation.
Case Report.
We report a case of a multiparous, 36-year-old woman with an anterior vaginal mass which was inappropriately treated as a vaginal prolapse prior to definitive surgical management.
This is only the second reported case of an AMFB presenting as a prolapsing mass.
