“…Differential diagnosis in women includes Bartholin gland cysts or perineal hernias, while in men, aggressive angiomyxomas have frequently been mistaken for inguinal hernias (12). Pathologically, the tumour should be distinguished between a large spectrum of tumours with low-risk local recurrences and those with high-risk metastatic potential.…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumour that is locally infiltrative but nonmetastasizing. It occurs nearly exclusively in adult women of childbearing age and almost always arises in the perineum and pelvic area. A case of angiomyxoma occurring in a middle-aged, morbidly obese man is reported. The clinical presentation was one of progressing scrotal edema and enlargement with subsequent development of scrotal abscesses, requiring several incisions and drainages as well as oral and intravenous antibiotics. His symptoms and body habitus left him in a significantly debilitated state, prompting him to seek treatment for his conditions. He initially presented for abdominal lipectomy. However, due to the chronic scrotal infections and enlargement, scrotectomy was recommended before any other surgical procedures. A scrotectomy was performed by the urology service. Pathological diagnosis of the excised tumour was an aggressive angiomyxoma. Given the rarity of this tumour, especially in males, the proper diagnosis and treatment of angiomyxoma is still being investigated. With this in mind, the physical signs and symptoms that characterize this condition are presented and treatment options are reviewed.

“…mitgeteiltes Gewicht eines aggressiven Angiomyxoms des Skrotum betrug 4225 g [6]. Sonografisch präsentiert sich das aggressive Angiomyxom als gut abgrenzbare, echoarme Raumforderung, welche von Septen durchzogen wird [7]. Im CT findet sich nativ eine homogene Raumforderung mit einer Signaldichte wie Wasser, nach Kontrastmittel-Gabe ein heterogenes Enhancement.…”

AA has to be considered as a possible diagnosis for obscure tumours of the pelvis. Since these tumours tend to relapse, margin-negative resection is most important. Also in cases of relapse, secondary excision should be achieved within healthy tissue. Adjuvant hormonal chemotherapy or radiation can be considered in cases of multiple relapse. Because of the risk of local recurrence rather than metastasis, these patients need a long-term follow up.

Background Angiomyofibroblastoma (AMFB) is a benign mesenchymal tumor most commonly found in the female genital tract of premenopausal women. Although rare, AMFB is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of vulvar and vaginal masses, as it must be distinguished from aggressive angiomyxoma (AA), a locally recurrent, invasive, and damaging tumor with similar clinical and pathologic findings. CaseWe describe a patient with a 4 cm vaginal AMFB and the relevant preoperative radiographic imaging findings. ConclusionPreoperative diagnosis of AMFB remains difficult. Common findings on magnetic resonance imaging and transvaginal sonography are described. We conclude that both transvaginal ultrasound and MRI are potentially useful imaging modalities in the preoperative assessment of vulvar and vaginal AMFB, with more data needed to determine superiority of one modality over the other.
