Aggressive Angiomyxoma of Vagina: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, locally invasive mesenchymal tumor predominantly presenting in women of reproductive age and also having a moderate-to-high risk for local relapse. Hence, it needs to be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors occurring in this region. We present here a case of a 47 Year old female, with chief complaints of prolapsed uterus since 6 months. During clinical examination, posterior vaginal wall swelling was also identified. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingoophrectomy was done along with removal of posterior vaginal wall swelling. On histopathology, diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma was made. We report this case because of its rarity.
