Abstract

A rare benign mesenchymal tumour that predominantly occurs in lower genital tract, more frequently vulvo vaginal areas of young to middle-aged women, rarely occurs in retroperitoneum. It needs to be differentiated from other benign conditions like Gartner’s duct cyst, epithelial inclusion cyst, fibroepithelial polyps. It grows more slowly and is non tender, non invasive, and have least tendency for local recurrence. The histologic findings of the tumors are abundant thin-walled blood vessels with hypocellular and hypercellular areas. Almost all tumor cells have immunoreactivity for both desmin and vimentin. It also has estrogen and/or progesterone receptors, but staining for cytokeratin is negative. Here is a case of AMFB of the vulva occurring in a 62-year-old woman, involving the left labia majora. The patient described that her vulva mass grew over few years. The dimension of the tumor was measured as 18*12*4 cms. Excision biopsy done and sent for histopathology.
