“…The tumor usually ap pears as a relatively low-density, soft tissue, heteroge neous mass [9,11,12]. In our case, no preoperative CT scan was done, but a follow-up scan was done 28 months postoperatively to rule out the presence of tumor recur rence.…”

“…Since its original description in 1983 by Steeper and Rosai [1], aggressive angiomyxoma has gained recogni tion, with about 40 reported cases, as a distinctive myxoid neoplasm of the female pelvis and perineum [1,5,6] as well as the vagina [1,5,7], vulva [1,5,8] and cervix [9]. • However, reports of aggressive angiomyxoma in males are rare, to our knowledge, 12 cases in males having been reported in the English-language literature [2][3][4][5], The ori gin sites of aggressive angiomyxoma in males were scro tum [2][3][4], spermatic cord [2,3], inguinal region [2], peri anal region [5], perineum [5], and pelvis [2], Lack of awareness of this uncommon tumor in males is evidenced by failure of textbooks on urologic pathology to mention this entity.…”

“…The CT findings demonstrated that the tumor, later identified as AAM, had a well-defined margin and an attenuation less than that of a muscle [11]. On ultrasonography, AAM appears as a hypoechoic or cystic mass [12]. In our case, the liver mass showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI, as an attenuated mass on CT, and as a hypoechoic cystic region on ultrasound (Fig.…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma of the liver: a case report and literature review

et al. 2017

BackgroundAggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that occurs almost exclusively in the soft tissue of the pelvis and perineum. AAM has both locally infiltrative and recurrent characteristics. Very few cases of AAM occurring outside of the pelvis and perineum have been reported. Here, we report a case of AAM originating in the liver of a 33-year-old female patient.Case presentationA 33-year-old woman underwent S8 subsegmentectomy after clinical diagnosis of a mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver. Histological analysis revealed a tumor composed of spindle-shaped cells with vascular proliferation in a myxoid stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells stained positively for CD34, estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PgR) and negatively for S-100, EMA, CK19, CD99, HMB45, and α-smooth muscle actin. The tumor was diagnosed as AAM originating from the liver. The patient received no adjuvant chemotherapy. No sign of recurrence or distant metastasis has been noted for 10 months after the surgery.ConclusionsWe here report a second case of AAM originating from the liver, which is an uncommon location for this particular tumor.

“…Ultrasonography in a previously reported case showed a tumor mass that appeared hypoechoic or cystic. 4 CT scanning showed a clearly defi ned and moderately enhanced mass, which was iso-or hypo-attenuated compared to the muscles. Although MRI data are more specifi c, a swirling appearance is an important diagnostic feature found in approximately 83% of patients.…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma mimicking inguinal hernia in a man

et al. 2009

We report the case of a 37-year-old Japanese man who presented with a left lower abdominal mass that was initially interpreted clinically as an inguinal hernia. The patient reported a swelling in his left lower abdomen over the past 6 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left inguinal mass extending from the left spermatic cord to the left inguinal subcutaneous layer. Local excision was performed, with a preoperative diagnosis of benign soft tissue tumor. Histopathological diagnosis revealed aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM), and no recurrence was observed 6 months after surgery. AAM is a rare tumor which most commonly occurs in the pelvis or perineum of premenopausal women, with extremely rare cases in men. The findings from previously reported cases and our case suggest that AAM should be considered in patients with an inguinal or scrotal swelling with a suspicious soft tissue tumor.
