Cytology of angiofibroma of soft tissue of the inguinal region

Angiofibroma of the soft tissue is a recently described benign fibroblastic/ myofibroblastic tumor. Histologically, it is diagnosed by bland spindle cells dispersed in a myxocollagenous stroma with interspersed angulated and slit-shaped, small vessels. Scattered inflammatory cells are also common in the stroma. The cytology of this tumor has not been reported in the literature, to the best of our knowledge. We report the cytology of an angiofibroma of soft tissue occurring in a 30-year-old lady which showed bland spindle cells, occasional polygonal cells with nuclear grooving, prominent vessels, frayed stroma around the blood vessels, and scattered lymphocyte-rich inflammatory cells in the background.
