Cellular angiofibroma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that usually affects the vulvar region. It is commonly asymptomatic and treated with radical excision. We describe the first case of cellular angiofibroma located in the retroperitoneum presenting with coxalgia and laparoscopically treated. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient was coxalgia and disease free. Coxalgia is an unusual symptom for gynecologists; nevertheless, it is possible that several neoplasms may originate in the female pelvis, so any symptom requires careful evaluation. The laparoscopic approach may be effective in removing cellular angiofibroma, avoiding injuries to surrounding structures and unesthetic scarring and leading to a faster recovery.

Cellular angiofibroma (CA) is a relatively recently described, rare, benign soft tissue tumor that predominantly occurs in the vulvoperineal region. It was first described in 1997 as a mesenchymal-origin tumor composed of connective (fibrous) tissue and blood vessels. We report a case of vaginal CA in a 40-year-old woman who presented with pressure symptoms, incidentally diagnosed with a vaginal mass and clinically suspected as vaginal myoma.

Aggressive angiomyxoma and cellular angiofibroma are uncommon mesenchymal tumors. Imaging plays an important role in suggesting their diagnosis and in delineating the extent of the lesion. Additionally, histopathological examination provides the definite diagnosis.

Rationale: Angiofibroma of soft tissue (AFST) is a rare benign fibrous tumor recently included in the 2020 WHO classification of soft tissue and bone tumors. Currently, there are limited reports on AFST, and pathologists lack sufficient understanding of its clinical and pathological characteristics. There is scarce literature available on AFST in the cervical region.

Scrotal cellular angiofibroma (CAF) is a rare, benign, soft-tissue paratesticular tumor that has been sporadically reported previously. We present a case of a 55-year old male with a scrotal mass ultimately diagnosed with scrotal CAF. Immunohistochemical analysis stained positively for desmin, CD34, and estrogen receptor.
