Aggressive deep angiomyxoma--a case report and review of the literature

Aggressive deep angiomyxoma (AA) is locally infiltrative, non-metastasizing neoplasm that typically occurs in the pelvis and perineum in women of the reproductive age. Local recurrence is high despite apparently complete surgical resection.

The authors describe a case of AA in the pelvis in a 27-year-old woman. She underwent one invasive diagnostic procedure and three surgical interventions during four months, due to diagnostic problems and very early recurrence of the disease. Follow-up one year later revealed no recurrence.

The present case confirms that AA are locally aggressive and notorious for local recurrence. Such an early recurrence of AA has not been described in available literature.
