Abstract

Superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower female genital tract is a rare and recently identified benign mesenchymal tumor with only 57 cases reported till now. Majority of the cases are described in the vagina and few cases in the cervix and vulva. It may present as a polypoid or cystic mass, and few cases are detected incidentally. It has a unique morphology and immunohistochemical features. The entity may mimic other benign and malignant conditions of the female genital tract and hence pose a diagnostic challenge. Here, we describe a patient with cervical superficial myofibroblastoma who presented with bleeding per vaginum and polyp in the cervix. Morphology and immunohistochemical findings helped in the final diagnosis. Awareness of this rare benign entity can help us to differentiate superficial myofibroblastoma from many aggressive entities and thus prevent radical surgeries.
