Background:
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare soft tissue tumour that carries a high risk of local relapse. It is a slowly growing and locally infiltrating tumour.
Case:
We describe the case of an aggressive pelvic-perineal angiomyxoma arising in a 36-year-old woman. The patient had a mass that grew before, during and after her pregnancy. Transperineal surgery was performed. The resection margins were free of disease.
Conclusion:
Our case confirms what has previously been published concerning the possible hormone-dependence of this neoplasm. Given the positive estrogen and progesterone receptor status of this tumour, we will consider hormonal treatments in the case of a future relapse.
