- Abstract
Cellular angiofibroma (CA) is a rare benign tumor originating from the superficial soft tissues of the genital area. It occurs in both the genders with equal predilection. The sites involved by this tumor are vulva in females and inguinoscrotal region in males. Vaginal involvements have rarely been reported. We present a case of 57-year-old woman, presented with moderate postcoital bleeding. Vaginal examination revealed a tender mass in the left vaginal wall, measuring 1.5 cm. A clinical diagnosis of benign tumors (leiomyoma, angiomyofibroblastoma, and CA) or aggressive vaginal tumors was made. A complete local excision was done and sent for histopathological examination, confirming the diagnosis of a CA.
