“…Generally, AMFB presents as a painless superficial mass in the vagina or vulva 2. Origin in nonvulvovaginal sites is rare but well recognized3–25 (Table 2) and may be associated with unexpected clinical presentations, as in a patient who developed dysuria secondary to a urethral AMFB,4 and in our patient, who was felt to have a primary kidney tumor.…”

“…Infrequent cases from nonvulvovaginal sites have been reported in the fallopian tube, cervix, urethra and bladder3–13 and, even more rarely, in the pelvis14,15 and retroperitoneum1 (Table 2). 3–25 Similar but distinct tumors, designated as AMFB-like tumor and, subsequently, cellular angiofibroma may also be found in the inguinoscrotal region of men26,27 and are considered separately below.…”

The retroperitoneal soft tissues, extending from the pelvic floor to the level of the diaphragm, are the source of a variety of mesenchymal neoplasms with overlapping features and distinct clinical behaviors, making their distinction of crucial importance. Herein, we report a rare retroperitoneal angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) that presented as a right abdominal mass in a 25-year-old woman and that clinically simulated a primary renal carcinoma. The patient underwent complete surgical resection showing a well-circumscribed tumor adjacent to but separate from the right kidney. It was comprised of irregular, often anastomosing islands and cords of plump to spindled cells in a collagenous stroma with numerous thin-walled vessels. The tumor cells clustered around the vessels and admixed with moderate numbers of adipocytes. There was neither significant nuclear atypia nor mitotic activity. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed strong reactivity for desmin, diffuse expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, retained nuclear expression of retinoblastoma protein, and absent CD34 expression. The immunomorphological features were these of a “lipomatous variant” of AMFB of the retroperitoneum. The occurrence of AMFB in the retroperitoneum is unexpected since it mostly develops in the lower genital tract of young women, making its recognition in this rare location difficult. As a consequence, more common pelvic or retroperitoneal soft tissue neoplasms may represent the primary diagnostic considerations. We, therefore, review a variety of soft tissue tumors occurring in the pelvis/retroperitoneum that, to some degree, may mimic AMFB, and present key findings to assist in accurate diagnosis.

“…Clinically, it frequently appeared as a benign, painless enlargement of the vulva, but rarely other manifestations such as foul-smelling secretions, menorrhagia, and dyspareunia have also been seen. This tumor's first case series was published by Fletcher et al [1][2][3][4][5] In this article, we report a case of AMF. Toward a better understanding of this tumor and its histopathology as well as an investigation of its differential diagnosis, we manage to conduct this article.…”

Key Clinical MessageAngiomyofibroblastoma is a benign soft tissue tumor and a form of genital stromal mesenchymal tumor that primarily affects the vulva. It could possibly affect the reproductive‐aged women's lower genital tract (vagina).AbstractAngiomyofibroblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor primarily affecting the vulva in reproductive‐aged women. We report a 67‐year‐old female complaining of a painless mass in her right vulva spreading to the right inguinal region over the past 2 years. The first clinical impression was a canal of Nuck hernia, diagnostic laparoscopy was planned to rule hernia out. The vulvar mass was excised, and a histopathology examination revealed Angiomyofibroblastoma.
