ANGIOMYOFIBROBLASTOMA OF THE VULVA: A PATHOLOGIC PERSPECTIVE

Dr. Naqsh Thakur, Dr. Yogita Bhansali* and Dr. Aabha Sharma

ABSTRACT

Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare, benign mesenchymal tumor predominantly occurring in the vulvovaginal region of women during the reproductive or early postmenopausal years. Often mistaken for other more aggressive lesions such as aggressive angiomyxoma due to its anatomical location and clinical presentation, AMFB requires accurate diagnosis through histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with a painless, slow-growing vulvar mass, subsequently diagnosed as AMFB after surgical excision and pathological evaluation. The report emphasizes the importance of considering AMFB in the differential diagnosis of vulvar masses, detailing its clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features along with a discussion of its differential diagnoses and management strategies.
