Angiomyofibroblastoma of the uterine cervix in a patient with triple negative breast cancer: a case report

Abstract

Angiomyofibroblastoma is an uncommon, benign mesenchymal tumor which generally occurs in the vulvovaginal region. Uterine cervix localisation is uncommon. A 40-year-old female patient, who had been operated becasue of breast carcinoma, presented vaginal bleeding. Examination revealed a polypoid mass located in both vagina and cervix. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. With the help of typical histopathology and immunohistochemical findings, a diagnosis of “angiomyofibroblastoma” was made. Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor of unknown pathogenesis. A recognition of this entity is important to avoid misdagnosis of other angiomyxoid neoplasms such as aggressive angiomyxoma.
