Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare myxoid mesenchymal tumor of the pelvis and perineum, which occurs almost exclusively in adult women. The tumor is especially rare in men.
We report the case of a 68-year-old Japanese man with a slowly growing inguinal swelling. At surgery, a huge mass in the soft tissue of the inguinal region was found, not involving the adjacent organs. The morphologic picture was compatible with aggressive angiomyxoma of the inguinal region.
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a very rare, locally infiltrative neoplasm. Thus, after surgery, close follow-up is needed because of a high risk of local recurrence.
侵袭性血管黏液瘤是一种罕见的盆腔和会阴黏液样间叶组织肿瘤，几乎仅发生于成年女性。该肿瘤在男性中尤为罕见。
我们报告一例68岁日本男性患者，腹股沟区有一缓慢生长的肿物。手术中，在腹股沟区软组织发现一个巨大肿块，未累及相邻器官。形态学表现符合腹股沟区侵袭性血管黏液瘤。
侵袭性血管黏液瘤是一种非常罕见的、局部浸润性肿瘤。因此，由于局部复发风险高，术后需要密切随访。
