Zusammenfassung: | Background: Angiomyofibroblastoma is a relatively recently described rare tumor of the superficial soft tissues. To date, 57 cases of angiomyofibroblastoma of the external genitalia in women have been reported.
Methods/Results: We describe a case of a 24‐year‐old woman who presented with the urinary stream flowing out in the posterior direction and whose diagnosis was a urethral tumor, angiomyofibroblastoma.
Conclusions: Angiomyofibroblastoma has a potential arising from the female urethra as well as other areas of the external genitalia. |
