“…According to our search, Zhu et al reported a case of AAM of maxilla ineffective to radiotherapy ( 7 ), and Lin et al found a case of AAM of the male buttock ( 8 ). Additionally, Rivard et al observed an AAM that had grown in the vulva and bladder ( 9 ), while Agarwal et al reported an AAM of the renal pelvis in a horseshoe-shaped kidney ( 10 ). In addition, there are some AAMs that grow in other parts, but we have not yet retrieved literature reports of AAMs in the head.…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor primarily growing in the soft tissue of the pelvis and perineum in women of reproductive age. It is a benign tumor that still has a probability of being accompanied by localized invasion. Although negative margins of resection are difficult to achieve due to the invasive nature of the tumor and the lack of a well-defined capsule, the first line of treatment for AAM is surgery. The diagnosis of AAM is difficult to make due to a lack of specific manifestations and specific tumor markers. In this study, we reported a case of aggressive angiomyxoma in a 2-year-old girl that rarely develops in the skull with craniocerebral compression. The patient initially had a mass on her head that attracted the attention of her family, and then she began to have episodic headaches. Surgery was performed after hospitalization, and the tumor recurred 1 year after the operation, around the originally affected skull.
