“…In terms of treatment, apart from wide surgical excision, an LHRH agonist in a hormone-dependent aggressive angiomyxoma may reduce tumor volume but does not reduce the risk of recurrence [2]. Our patient has not had any further recurrences to date, almost one year after the episode described in this article.…”

“…Rarer sites have been described, including the pulmonary artery [4]. The aggressive nature of the tumor is due to its potential to infiltrate pelvic organs and the high risk of postoperative recurrence [2] which was estimated to be 47% with the meta-analysis reported by Chan et al on 106 patients, 71% of recurrences occurring during the first three years [5]. Metastases are rare, although secondary lymph node, peritoneal and lung sites have been described [6,9].…”

“…The attenuation on CT and high signal intensity on MRI are likely related to the loose myxoid matrix and high water content of angiomyxoma. Both CT and MRI show the translevator and the transdiaphragmatic extent of these tumors 3,4,10,14,26,27 .…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumor that usually arises in the pelvis and perineal regions of women in reproductive age, with a marked tendency to local recurrence. Because of its rarity, it is often initially misdiagnosed. Surgical resection is the main treatment modality of aggressive angiomyxoma. We describe a case of a vaginal aggressive angiomyxoma in a 47-year-old woman in which the diagnosis was only made after histological examination. The etiology, presentation, diagnosis and management of this rare tumor are outlined. Angiomyxoma of vulva and vagina refers to a rare disease. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult due to rarity and absence of diagnostic features, but it should be considered in every mass in genital, perianal and pelvic region in a woman in the reproductive age. Thus, these cases should have complete radiological workup before excision, as pre-diagnosis can change the treatment modality and patient prognosis'.

“…Aggressive angiomyxomas are typically located in the perineum, bilateral, smoothly surround the anal canal and display low attenuation values compared to that of muscle on CT. They appear isointense to muscle on T1-weighted MR imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted MR imaging with a distinctive whorled appearance [11]. After IV of contrast material, they show a characteristic swirled, layered or ''onion-peel'' appearance (Fig.…”

Pelvic extraperitoneal pelvic masses are relatively uncommon conditions and generally raise diagnostic imaging challenges. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of these masses due to its unique tissue-specific multiplanar capabilities that allow optimal pelvic mass localization and internal characterization. This article reviews the MR imaging presentation of extraperitoneal pelvic masses, gives clues that allow identifying their extraperitoneal and/or specific origin as well as suggests different steps for narrowing the differential diagnosis. These steps include systematic analysis of the clinical context, tumor location, relationships with major pelvic structures and close study of the internal components of the lesions.
