Abstract
Background:
Angiomyofibroblastoma was first described by Fletcher et al. in the year
1992. It is a distinctive benign tumor that most often occurs in the superficial area of the vulva and is
rarely reported in men in the inguinoscrotal region.
Case Presentation:
A 23-year-old female presented with a painless pedunculated labial mass which
was initially pea-sized and reached 7cm in maximum dimension over four months. The case was diagnosed on morphology, IHC and the patient was treated surgically. The interesting feature of the case
was the rarity of its incidence at labia minora and pedunculated form and its resemblance to other benign and more aggressive tumours. To the best of our knowledge, the extensive English literature
search revealed only seven cases of pedunculated angiomyofibroblastoma at labia majora in middleaged female and one case of labia minora in a young female.
Conclusion:
The lesion must be differentiated from another benign mesenchymal tumor of vulva
which requires extensive surgical management.
