Introduction: Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign, nodular, well circumscribed, rare mesenchymal lesion located mainly in the vulva, occurs almost exclusively in middle-aged women. Clinically are slow growing tumors, accompanied by pain, which often tends to be diagnosed as a Bartholin´s cyst, hydroceles of the canal of Nuck and angiomyxoma aggressive. The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Case: We present the case of a woman of 49 years who consulted for a mass of 3 years of evolution with progressive growth in vulvar region, which was accompanied by intense pain and burning limiting their daily activities. A clinical evaluation shows a large mass that covers the left labia majora and minora of the vulva. The diagnosis following surgical resection and pathological study was angiomyofibroblastoma. Discussion: Although this disease is a rare entity, the correct diagnosis of angiomyofibroblastoma will avoid confusion with other injuries riskier and is made therefore excessive and inappropriate treatment, since this tumor is cured by simple excision.
