Angiomyofibroblastoma
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (May 2014) |
Angiomyofibroblastoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumor. It occurs almost in the vulvovaginal area of women, but can also be observed in men.
The gross features of AMFB are well-circumscribed. Usually, most tumors grow slowly, and patients do not feel pain. It also has low tendency for local recurrence.
Location[edit]

Pathology[edit]

Immunohistochemistry[edit]
Almost all tumor cells have immunoreactivity for both desmin and vimentin. It also express estrogen receptors and/or progesterone receptors, but staining for cytokeratin is negative.[5]
