- Abstract
Background: Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is an uncommon disease with few literature reports, leading to the poor understanding of its diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative follow-up plans among gynecologists. Objective: To study the clinical and pathological features of vulvar AMFB and discuss its treatment and prognosis. Case Summary: The 3 cases were characterized by a gradually increasing painless mass in the vulva. Preoperative diagnosis was difficult and mainly depended on ultrasonic examination. Immunohistochemistry confirmed clear boundaries of AMFB. This condition could be completely cured by surgery, and the prognosis was good. Conclusion: The vulvar AMFB is a rare tumor that is frequently misdiagnosed before surgery. Ultrasound is preferred in auxiliary diagnosis, and surgery remains the best treatment, and long-term follow-up is necessary to avoid recurrence or other complications.
