A CASE OF AGGRESSIVE ANGIOMYXOMA PRESENTING AS A HUGE VULVAL GROWTH
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin initially described in 1983 by Steeper and Rosai and fewer than 150 cases have been reported in World literature since then. 1 The reported age at presentation is 6-77 years, with the peak incidence occurring during the reproductive years. The female to male ratio is 6:1. 2 Aggressive Angiomyxoma chiefly involves the deep soft tissues of the vulvovaginal region, perineum and pelvis. It is a slow growing tumor, but problematic due to frequent local recurrences, incidence in patient with narrow surgical margins is not higher than the one in patients with wide surgical margins. 2 The typical characteristics include slow growth, gelatinous appearance and locally infiltrative, but nonmetastasizing in nature without evidence of nuclear atypia or mitosis.
