摘　　要：In 2001, Laskin et al firstly described a series of 14 seemly distinctive mesenchymal tumors that occurred exclusively in the superficial lamina propria of the vagina and cervix of middle to old-aged women. They proposed the term ＂superficial cervicovaginal myofibroblastoma （SCVM）＂ to highlight the unique features of this tumor： the superficial subepithelial location and myofibroblastic differentiation of the minor cells. SCVM appears less well recognized with only three additional reports have been documented in the English literatures.24 In this study, we described four new cases of SCVM to further characterize the clinical and pathological features of this rare entity.In 2001, Laskin et al firstly described a series of 14 seemly distinctive mesenchymal tumors that occurred exclusively in the superficial lamina propria of the vagina and cervix of middle to old-aged women.
