ABS TRACT Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor mostly observed in women of childbearing age. Although it is often located in the vulva, it can also be observed in the paravaginal, perirectal areas, perineum and pelvis. It appears as a locally aggressive, large, infiltrative mass. Complete surgical excision is often difficult and has high recurrence rates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in preoperative diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma. The typical swirling appearance on T2-weighted and post-contrast T1-weighted MRI series is diagnostic for aggressive angiomyxoma. Here, we present a 51-year-old female patient with pelvic-perineal aggressive angiomyxoma, accompanied by radiological and pathological findings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
