"Superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower female genital tract
(SMFGT) is a rare neoplasm which is preferentially situated in the
vagina and cervix and less frequently in the vulva. In 2001, Laskin
et al. firstly described a series of 14 seemly distinctive mesenchymal
tumors that occurred exclusively in the superficial lamina propria of
the vagina and cervix of middle to old-aged women, They proposed
the term superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma (SCVM) to
highlight the unique features of this tumor: the superficial subepithelial
location and myofibroblastic differentiation of the tumor cells. In this
paper we describe a new case -to the best of our knowledge, the firstone
in Moroccan literature-, discuss the main histological features of
this rare entity and the problem of differential diagnosis it raises.
