[Aggressive angiomyxoma of the pelvic-peritoneal region (case report)]

The authors describe the case-history of a 30-year-old woman with an aggressive angiomyxoma. This rare tumour is usually found in the pelvic and perineal area and reaches a big size. In the presented case the weight of the tumour was 1020 g. The most successful therapeutic method is radical surgical extirpation of the tumourous mass. Inadequate removal is the cause of frequent relapses. The paper contains also a review of the literature.
