A rare cellular angiofibroma, a mesenchymal neoplasm, was found outside the typical vulvar/perineal area, presenting as a chest tumor. This case highlights its unique presentation and differential diagnosis challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Cellular angiofibroma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm typically found in the vulva or perineal region.
  • Extravulvar presentations are exceptionally uncommon, making diagnosis challenging.

Observation:

  • A unique case of cellular angiofibroma occurred in the subcutaneous tissue of the chest in a 43-year-old woman.
  • The asymptomatic tumor measured 7 cm and exhibited uniform spindled stroma cells, thick-walled vessels, and perivascular lymphoid aggregates.

Findings:

  • Histological analysis revealed stromal cells positive for vimentin and negative for CD34 and other specific markers.
  • The tumor's unique location and histological features necessitate careful differentiation from other spindle cell tumors and vascular lesions.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical distribution of cellular angiofibroma.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to distinguish it from other soft tissue tumors, guiding appropriate patient management.
