Angiomyofibroblastoma of the Foot: a Rare Soft Tissue Tumor at Unusual Site

Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that arises predominantly in the female genital tract. It occurs less commonly in the scrotum, spermatic cord, and the retroperitoneum. Its diagnosis is based on specific histological and immunopathological features. However, the condition has never been previously described in the extremities. We present the first case report of angiomyofibroblastoma presenting as a slow-growing tumor in the foot of a 48-year-old lady.
