Sumario:• Clinical experience with smooth muscle tumors of the vulva is limited. • Some tumors present ambiguous histological features concerning for malignancy. • These include infiltration, mitotic activity, size, atypia and tumor cell necrosis. • A case of smooth muscle tumor of the vulva with cellular atypia is presented. • “Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential” of the vulva is advocated.
