摘要
Giant cell angiofibroma （GCA） was first described in 1995, and it is a rare tumor in soft tissues,1 Since the initial report of the disease in orbital tissue, GCA has been reported in a variety of other soft tissues.2,3 The morphological hallmark is richly vascularized, patternless spindle cell proliferation in the presence of pseudovascular spaces and multinucleated giant cells. The pathological diagnosis of GCA is mainly based on positive staining of CD34. GCA is usually considered to be a benign tumor. In clinic, GCA needs to be distinguished from other tumors in soft tissues. Herein,we report two rare cases of GCA in the vocal cord and describe its histological features.
