Abstract

Angiofibroma of the soft tissue is a recently described benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumour. This report describes the cytology of an angiofibroma of soft tissue occurring in a 30-year-old lady which showed bland spindle cells, occasional polygonal cells with nuclear grooving, prominent vessels, frayed stroma around the blood vessels, and scattered lymphocyte-rich inflammatory cells in the background.

Keywords: angiofibroma of soft tissue; cytology; histomorphology.
