Superficial myofibroblastoma of the vagina with a stalk: case report of a rare vaginal tumor with notable radiological findings

Superficial myofibroblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor which predominantly occurs in the female lower genital tract. Here we present a case of a 42-year-old female patient with prolonged vaginal bleeding. Radiological imaging revealed a well circumscribed mass in the vagina with a stalk. The patient underwent surgery and the tumor was histologically diagnosed as superficial myofibroblastoma. Notably, this is the first report of the radiological imaging of a superficial myofibroblastoma harboring a stalk arising from the vaginal wall. We compared the radiological images with histological findings and discuss major differential diagnosis of vaginal tumors. Despite the challenging nature of preoperative diagnosis of mesenchymal vaginal tumors, radiological features may aid in differentiating them from other more aggressive entities or malignant tumors.
