ABSTRACT

Angiofibroma of the groin is a rare soft tissue benign tumour. Here we emphasize upon its diagnosis and management with a follow up in post-operative period. Microscopic demonstration of well circumscribed spindle cells and hyalinised vessels along with immunohistochemistry helps in clinching a diagnosis.

Key words: Angiofibroma, Inguinal Swellings, Soft Tissue Tumours, Immunohistochemistry.
