Summary
A rare perineal angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) was identified in a middle-aged woman. This is the first radiological case report detailing the CT and MR imaging features of this recently described neoplasm.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm.
- Perineal AMFB is exceptionally uncommon.
- This report focuses on the imaging characteristics of a perineal AMFB.
Observation:
- A middle-aged woman presented with a perineal mass.
- Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging were utilized for documentation.
- The lesion was located in the right perirectal fossa.
Findings:
- This case represents the first radiological report of a perineal angiomyofibroblastoma.
- Detailed CT and MR imaging features of this rare neoplasm are illustrated.
- The findings correlate imaging characteristics with clinicopathological descriptions.
Implications:
- Enhanced understanding of AMFB imaging features.
- Improved diagnostic accuracy for rare perineal neoplasms.
- Potential for earlier detection and characterization of AMFB.
