Abstract
- Superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma (SCVM) is extremely rare mesenchymal tumor arising low genital tract. SCVM is characterized by asymptomatic polypoid or nodular mass within the lamina propria. It is difficult to distinguish SCVM from other genital mesenchymal tumors because of similar morphologic features, however SCVM has distinctive histological and immunohistochemical profiles. SCVM is considered benign tumor which can be treated with simple excision and shows rare recurrence. We experienced two cases of SCVM which was treated with simple excision. We present these cases, along with a review of the relevant literatures.
