Superficial vaginal angiomyofibroblastoma is a distinct tumour arising in the lamina propria of the vagina. These tumours have characteristic histology comprising bland spindly to stellate shaped cells embedded in a finely collagenous stroma.

This tumour usually does not recur after local excision. The process probably arises as a neoplastic proliferation of hormonally responsive mesenchymal cells native to the unique subepithelial stromal layer of the cervix and vagina of adult women.
