Angiomyofibroblastoma
Angiomyofibroblastoma is rare uncommon soft tissue lesion of the vulva.
| Angiomyofibroblastoma | |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short | |
|
| |
| LM | hypercellular zones and hypocellular edematous zones, small blood vessels (~20 micrometers) - no large blood vessels, myxoid stroma, small stellate cell/spindle cells without significant nuclear atypia |
| LM DDx | aggressive angiomyxoma |
| Gross | well-circumscribed |
| Site | female pelvis (vulva), case reports of similar lesion in males |
|
| |
| Clinical history | slow growing, usu. not painful |
| Prevalence | very rare |
| Clin. DDx | Bartholin cyst, aggressive angiomyxoma |
