Abstract

Angiomyofibroblastoma is a rare tumour of the superficial soft tissue of the pelvis and perineum. It is considered to be a slowly growing benign tumour. In the literature no evidence of recurrence has been reported up to eight years following local excision. We report a recurrent case of this tumour with no evidence of malignant transformation.
