Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) of the vulva is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor of the vulva that affects the vulva and vagina of adult women. Often mimicked by other vulvar masses such as vestibular macrocystic glands, subcutaneous lipomas, and dermoid cysts, AMFB can be detected by histopathology. Here, we present a case where AMFB was initially misdiagnosed as a subcutaneous lipoma....
