ABSTRACT

Cellular angiofibroma is a rare benign mesenchymal lesion with a predilection for the genital region, although rare cases have been reported in the pelvic and extrapelvic regions. It mostly affects women in their fifties. Histologically, Cellular angiofibroma is characterized by two principal components: bland spindle cells and abundant prominent small to medium-sized vessels. The characterization by immunohistochemistry is helpful in distinguishing cellular angiofibroma from other mesenchymal lesions. The treatment requires a simple local excision due to low recurrences of the local lesion and no chances of metastasizing. The current study concerns a 52-year-old patient who had two angiofibromas for one year, one on the mons pubis and the other on the right labia majora. The treatment consisted of a simple excision, and the follow-up was unremarkable.
