Abstract:
Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a rare, slow
growing, benign mesenchymal tumor arising from
the pelvis and perineum which commonly affects
women in the reproductive age group. Though
benign, it is locally infiltrative with a marked
tendency for local recurrence. We report a case
of aggressive angiomyxoma of the vulva with
translevator extension into the pelvic cavity in a 33
year old G2P2(2002). She presented with a left labial
mass that recurred two years after excision was
done. Debulking of the mass was carried out by
abdominal and perineal approach. Histopathologic
studies of the mass confirmed aggressive angiomyxoma. Long-term periodic follow-up with imaging
studies was advised because of its high rate of
recurrence in spite of negative tumor margins after
wide excision
