Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMF) is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor that most frequently affects the lower genital tract of young to middle-aged women. It mainly consists of two components: stromal cells and prominent vasculature. Clinically, it is usually asymptomatic and resembles Bartholin's cyst. Although it is a benign tumor, cases with recurrence and sarcomatous transformation have been reported. Due to the overlapping of histopathological picture, diagnostic perplexity often arises between AMF and aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM). AMF being benign in nature is treated by local excision, whereas AAM is a more infiltrative lesion that has a higher tendency for local recurrence.
血管肌成纤维细胞瘤(AMF)是一种罕见的良性软组织肿瘤,最常累及年轻至中年女性的下生殖道。它主要由两个成分组成:基质细胞和显著的脉管系统。临床上,它通常无症状,类似巴氏腺囊肿。尽管它是良性肿瘤,但已有复发和肉瘤样变的病例报道。由于组织病理学表现重叠,AMF和侵袭性血管黏液瘤(AAM)之间常常出现诊断困惑。本质为良性的AMF通过局部切除治疗, 而AAM是一种更具浸润性的病变,局部复发倾向更高。
