Zusammenfassung:Extra renal angiomyolipoma is an exceedingly rare entity. This is usually not associated with tuberous sclerosis as it has no human melanoma black 45 immune reactive cells although it shares the terminology with renal angiomyolipoma. The histological features are characterized by admixture of blood vessels, smooth muscles, and mature adipose tissues in variable proportion. Surgical excision is considered curative. We report a case of isolated vulval angiomyolipoma in a 45-year-old female which clinically and radiologically presented as lipoma like lesion. Our case of isolated vulval angiomyolipoma is the first reported case in the literature.
