Angiomyofibroblastoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumor. It occurs almost in the vulvo-vaginal 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.
