RESUMEN
Cellular angiofibroma is a rare tumor. We report a vulvar case in a 37 year old woman. This nodular, well circonscribed tumor consists of bland spindle cells, numerous thin or thick often hyalinized vessels and adipocytes. The stromal cells are positive for vimentin and negative for CD34, protein S100, smooth muscle actin, desmin, epithelial membrane antigen and cytokeratin. Cellular angiofibroma is a benign tumor that has to be differentiated from aggressive angiomyxoma, angiomyofibroblastoma, glomangiopericytoma, spindle cell lipoma, solitary fibrous tumor and perineurioma.

In the light of a personal case and a review of the literature, the authors recall the specific features of renal endometriosis. This rare lesion, with a favourable prognosis, is difficult to diagnose and is rarely diagnosed preoperatively. Medical treatment by LHRH agonists is discussed and has been used exceptionally.
