ABSTRACT
Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor that occur mostly in the vulvovaginal region in premenopausal females and also rarely involves inguinoscrotal region in males. It resembles Bartholin’s gland cyst due to its location. It usually occur in middle age group females. We hereby report 4 cases of angiomyofibroblastoma who presented with vulval mass. One of them was a postmenopausal female while another one was a 20 year old young woman, an uncommon finding. Rest two were middle aged females. Due to overlapping histological features, angiomyofibroblastoma(AMFB) should be distinguished from aggressive angiomyxoma(AAM) which is a locally aggressive tumor and has tendency to recur whereas AMFB is benign in nature and does not recur.
Keywords: Angiomyofibroblastoma, postmenopausal, young female, aggressive angiomyxoma, vulva.
