Angiomyofibroblastoma‐like tumors (cellular angiofibroma)

Abstract

Angiomyofibroblastoma-like tumor (cellular angiofibroma) is a rare, circumscribed, slow-growing mesenchymal tumor that occurs predominantly in the vulva, perineum, and pelvis of women. We report two cases of this tumor in men arising as paratesticular masses of the scrotum, summarize the history of this tumor, and discuss why efforts should be made to differentiate it from aggressive angiomyxoma. Recommended treatment is complete surgical excision with long-term follow up exams, as local recurrence may occur many years after resection of the lesion.

A rare case of angiofibroma of the mandible: A case report

“…Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma is uniquely confined to the nasopharynx and has a very distinct histology with a homogeneous fibroplasia and delicate immature collagen with interposed sinusoidal-like vascular channels that lack prominent endothelium. 3 The origin of angiofibroma is still disputed. 4 Various etiological factors have been suggested.…”

Angiomyofibroblastoma-like tumor (cellular angiofibroma) in the male inguinal region

“…Pathological features of AMF-like tumor overlap those of AMF and spindle cell lipoma. There are few reports of AMF-like tumors; [2][3][4] and to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reported imaging fi ndings of this tumor. Here, we report a case of AMF-like tumor and describe its differential diagnosis.…”

Para-testicular cellular angiofibroma: a rare tumour in a male renal transplant patient

“…There are few reports in the literature of cellular angiofibroma in the inguino-scrotal region of males. These consist of two series [9,13] and two case reports [2,19]. The tumour is well circumscribed and composed of spindle cells with prominent thick-walled stromal blood vessels.…”
