Abstract:
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare, benign tumor. It usually involves the connective tissue of the perineal regions in women of reproductive age. In this report, we present a case of AAM in a 66-year-old female, which presented itself as a retrovesical tumor on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging and caused lower urinary tract symptoms. The tumor was resected en bloc and the patient's voiding symptoms disappeared.
