Angiomyofibroblastoma arising from the fallopian tube.
BACKGROUND
Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare tumor that occurs most commonly in the vulva and vagina.


METHODS
A 28-year-old woman, gravida 1, para 1, presented with secondary infertility. Pelvic ultrasound showed a multicystic mass that further imaging found to be septated and extended to the umbilicus. At laparotomy, a 25 x 14 x 4 cm mass originating from the left fallopian tube and the tube were excised. Pathologic examination confirmed an angiomyofibroblastoma of the fallopian tube.


CONCLUSIONS
Angiomyofibroblastomas can occur in the fallopian tube and should be differentiated from more aggressive angiomyxoma.
