[Angiomyofibroblastoma of the vulva: a rare but distinct entity. Case report and literature review].
Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign vulvar tumour involving soft tissue that is characterized by alternating hypocellular and hypercellular areas of spindle stromal cells, admixed and aggregated around blood vessels. It is important to recognize this entity as it shows benign behaviour with respect to other mesenchymal tumours of the vagina, which have a more aggressive behaviour.
