Abstract
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is an unusual mesenchymal tumor. AA occurs most commonly in women of reproductive age and is located in the perineal or pelvic region. This is a distinct soft tissue tumor that has a prominent myxoid matrix and numerous thin-walled blood vessels and may have an aggressive local recurrence. The tumors have the characteristics of large size (usually greater than 10 cm) and slow growth, and are not painful. The standard treatment for AA is total excision and close follow-up. We announce a case of a 35 year-old female presenting with a pedunculated AA on the right labium majora that has not relapsed for seven years.Entities:
