Abstract
Lower genital tract myofibroblastoma is a gynecologic rarity, with most of the published literature consisting of case reports. Differential diagnoses for lower genital tract soft tissue masses include cervical leiomyomas, nabothian cysts, and other rare tumors such as angiomyofibroblastoma. The pathogenesis is unclear; however, research aims to identify an association with hormones or infections. We report the case of a 32-year-old female who was found to have cervical myofibroblastoma after excision of a large cervical lesion. Based on an extensive literature review, this case will be the sixth reported case of cervical myofibroblastoma since 2017.
