Superficial myofibroblastomas of the lower female genital tract are an unusual type of benign mesenchymal tumour. To the authors' knowledge, there has been no previous imaging description of a superficial myofibroblastoma in the literature. Here, we describe a case that presented with symptoms consistent with vaginal prolapse. However, a mass was palpable on clinical examination with unusual features on MRI. Following surgery, the histopathological features were considered consistent with superficial myofibroblastoma. By presenting the MRI and histological findings, we aim to raise awareness about this lesion so that it may be considered in the differential diagnosis of a vaginal mass.
女性下生殖道浅表肌成纤维细胞瘤是一种罕见的良性间叶性肿瘤。据作者所知,此前文献中尚无关于浅表肌成纤维细胞瘤的影像学描述。在此,我们描述一例表现出与阴道脱垂相符症状的病例。然而,临床检查可触及肿物,MRI表现具有异常特征。手术后,组织病理学特征被认为符合浅表肌成纤维细胞瘤。通过展示MRI和组织学检查结果,我们旨在提高对该病变的认识,以便在阴道肿物的鉴别诊断中考虑到它。
