| Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Aggressive angiomyxomas are rare, arise from connective tissue of the perineum or the lower pelvis, and affect predominantly young women. CASE: We describe an unusual case of aggressive angiomyxoma in which the perineal approach was possible owing to MRI scanning and selective angiography indications. CONCLUSION: In cases of large aggressive angiomyxomas these diagnostic procedures should make it possible to decide which operative route might be best for the patient. |
