Cellular angiofibroma is a rare, benign vulvar tumor. This case report details its successful surgical excision in a 31-year-old woman, with no recurrence observed.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Cellular angiofibroma (CAF) is a rare, benign mesenchymal neoplasm.
  • First described in 1997, CAFs are infrequently reported, often presenting as soft tissue masses.
  • These lesions predominantly occur in the vulvar region.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of a left labial mass.
  • The mass had recently enlarged to 5 cm and was clinically suspected to be a lipoma.
  • Surgical excision was performed for the labial mass.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass as a cellular angiofibroma.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence of the growth 10 months post-excision.

  • This case highlights the successful management of a rare vulvar tumor.

    • Implications:

    • Cellular angiofibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis for painless, soft vulvar masses.
    • Early and complete surgical excision appears to be an effective treatment.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of CAFs is warranted.
