AGGRESSIVE ANGIOMYXOMA OF THE UTERUS - A RARE CASE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 20
Abstract
Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a rare myxoid mesenchymal tumor of the pelvis and perineum, which occurs almost exclusively in adult women. It is a rare neoplasm with about 250 reported cases. To the best of our knowledge only one case of aggressive angiomyxoma of uterus arising from the uterine cavity and presenting as endometrial polyp has been reported. But angiomyxoma arising from body of uterus has never been reported. We report a case of 45 year old lady with a huge mass arising from the uterus which on histopathological examination showed features of aggressive angiomyxoma. Complete excision is the treatment of choice because of its tendency to recur locally. So radical surgery, with wide margins is advised. Prognosis is very good. Only 2 cases with metastatic disease followed by death have been reported. Recurrence rate is 36- 70%.
