The Morphological and Immunohistochemical Features of a Pedunculated Vulvar Angiomyofibroblastoma: A Case with Review of Literature

2016 
Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMF) is a rare and benign soft tissue tumor that presents in the vulvovaginal area in women. Numerous entities such as Bartholin's cysts, aggressive angiomyxoma, cellular angiofibroma, fibroepithelial stromal polyps, and superficial myofibroblastoma can also develop in the female genital region and mimic AMF; distinguishing between these lesions can be difficult due to their morphological similarities. Among the tumors mentioned, histological similarities add strain to AMF diagnosis. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical variability that exists within each discrete tumor category makes differentiation arduous. While challenging, it is necessary to diagnose these lesions accurately and hastily as the prognosis for
