In women it usually occurs in the vulva and vagina. These tumors are often diagnosed as Bartholin cysts, vulvar cysts, myomas, and unspecified complex tumors.
 Objective: Report a case of cellular angiofibroma previously diagnosed with cervical myoma
 Case: A 51-year-old female patient para 5 abortion 0 with complaints of lumps that have been felt to come in and out since 4 months but since 1 week it feels enlarged and cannot be inserted again, and diagnosed as cervical tumor. History of menopause since 1 year ago. The general condition of the patient is good with vital signs within normal limits.

On inspection, there was a reddish mass coming out of the vaginal introitus with some blackish necrotic appearance. On vaginal examination, a mass with a solid consistency was found with the impression of the cervix with a border of the tumor stalk that was not palpable. In this patient, Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingoophorectomy were performed and the tissue was examined for anatomical pathology with cervical angiofibroma results with non-specific chronic inflammation and atypical complex endometrial gland hyperplasia.
