Cellular angiofibroma
Cellular Angiofibroma (pronunciation: sel-yuh-ler an-gee-oh-fahy-broh-muh) is a rare benign tumor that typically occurs in the pelvic or inguinal regions. The term "Cellular Angiofibroma" is derived from the Latin "cellula" meaning "a small room", "angio" from the Greek "angeion" meaning "vessel", and "fibroma" from the Latin "fibra" meaning "fiber".
Definition

Clinical Presentation
Patients with Cellular Angiofibroma often present with a painless, slow-growing mass in the pelvic or inguinal region. The tumor is more commonly found in men than in women.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Cellular Angiofibroma is typically made through a combination of clinical examination, imaging studies, and histopathological examination of the tumor.
Treatment
The primary treatment for Cellular Angiofibroma is surgical excision. Due to the benign nature of the tumor, it does not typically recur after complete excision.
Prognosis
