title: Angiomyofibroblastoma of the Male Perineum: An Unusual Location for a Rare Lesion.
abstract: We report a case of angiomyofibroblastoma (AMF)-like tumor of the perineum in a 54-year-old man. The asymptomatic lesion measured 3 cm and appeared as a tan homogeneous mass. Histologically, it appeared as a circumscribed nodular spindle cell proliferation with alternating cellular and hypocellular areas. The spindle cells exhibited minimal nuclear pleomorphism and scanty mitotic activity. Focally, some cells were epithelioid. Large blood vessels were present, with perivascular fibrosis. The spindle cells expressed vimentin, but not desmin, actin, S100, or CD34. These features were similar to those of AMF as initially reported in the vulva. A perineal localion of this lesion in a male has not been reported in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. Int J Surg Pathol 8(1):79-82, 2000
