Majority of the cases are described in the vagina and few cases in the cervix and vulva. It may present as a polypoid or cystic mass, and few cases are detected incidentally. It has a unique morphology and immunohistochemical features. The entity may mimic other benign and malignant conditions of the female genital tract and hence pose a diagnostic challenge. Here, we describe a patient with cervical superficial myofibroblastoma who presented with bleeding per vaginum and polyp in the cervix. Morphology and immunohistochemical findings helped in the final diagnosis. Awareness of this rare benign entity can help us to differentiate superficial myofibroblastoma from many aggressive entities and thus prevent radical surgeries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_159_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,3]],"date-time":"2025-01-03T00:00:35Z","timestamp":1735862435000},"page":"306-308","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Cervical Superficial Myofibroblastoma Presenting as a Polyp: A Rare Benign Entity"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Smita","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Neha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiran","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rushali","family":"Saxena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2050313X17726936","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313X17726936","article-title":"Cervical superficial myofibroblastoma:Case report and review of the literature","volume":"5","author":"Abdelaziz","year":"2017","journal-title":"SAGE Open Med Case Rep"},{"key":"R2-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1862","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2023.02.018","article-title":"A giant superficial myofibroblastoma involving the vagina and pelvis:A case report and review of the literature","volume":"18","author":"Ling","year":"2023","journal-title":"Radiol Case Rep"},{"key":"R4-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"72","DOI":"10.15406\/ogij.2022.13.00628","article-title":"Superficial myofibroblastoma of the lower female genital tract:Case report and literature review","volume":"13","author":"Zoorob","year":"2022","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol Int J"},{"key":"R5-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1080\/00313020500058284","article-title":"Superficial cervico-vaginal myofibroblastoma:A report of five cases","volume":"37","author":"Stewart","year":"2005","journal-title":"Pathology"},{"key":"R6-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1160273","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1160273","article-title":"Case report:Superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma of the cervix with endometrial carcinoma","volume":"10","author":"Zhang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Med (Lausanne)"},{"key":"R7-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"715","DOI":"10.1053\/hupa.2001.25588","article-title":"Superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma:Fourteen cases of a distinctive mesenchymal tumor arising from the specialized subepithelial stroma of the lower female genital tract","volume":"32","author":"Laskin","year":"2001","journal-title":"Hum Pathol"},{"key":"R8-20250103","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"603","DOI":"10.1016\/j.path.2009.08.014","article-title":"Mesenchymal lesions of the lower genital tract","volume":"2","author":"Nucci","year":"2009","journal-title":"Surg Pathol Clin"}],"container-title":["Journal of Mid-life Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_159_24","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T19:28:10Z","timestamp":1786735690000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_159_24"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jmh.jmh_159_24","relation":{},"ISSN":["0976-7800","0976-7819"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0976-7800","type":"print"},{"value":"0976-7819","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-08-24","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-10-13","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
