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
