title: Angiomyofibroblastoma of the right ischiorectal fosa.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  angiomyofibroblastoma is a soft-tissue lesion. The vulvovaginal region of middle-aged females is the most frequent localization. Angiomyofibroblastoma is a well-circumscribed subcutaneous tumor at the vulva and perineum region. It is a painful and slow-growing tumor. It is often thought to represent a Bartholin's gland cyst. Treatment of choice is surgical excision.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the case of a 49-year-old female with a right vulvar tumor that had been growing for 2 years. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance revealed a tumor at the right ischiorectal fossa. Diagnosis after surgical excision was angiomyofibroblastoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  angiomyofibroblastoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of vulvovaginal tumors because its treatment differs from others lesions of that region.
