Summary
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare tumor, typically affecting women. This case report details a unique instance of paratesticular AAM in a 65-year-old male, successfully treated with surgery.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare, locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor.
- It predominantly affects females of childbearing age and rarely occurs in males.
- Testicular origin of AAM is exceptionally rare and not previously documented in literature.
Observation:
- A 65-year-old male presented with a right scrotal swelling.
- Ultrasound revealed a soft tissue tumor of the right testis.
- The patient underwent a radical right orchidectomy.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination confirmed the tumor as a paratesticular Aggressive Angiomyxoma.
- The surgical resection achieved clear margins.
- No local recurrence or metastasis was observed two years post-surgery.
Implications:
- This case expands the known clinical spectrum of Aggressive Angiomyxoma.
- It highlights the possibility of paratesticular AAM in adult males.
- Successful surgical management with clear margins offers a favorable prognosis.
