Aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon mesenchymal myxoid tumor that is characterized by slow growth and frequent local recurrence. It is currently regarded as a nonmetastasizing tumor. We describe a case of recurrent aggressive angiomyxoma with invasion into the veins including the inferior vena cava and the right atrium and with pulmonary metastases. Our case, together with those unusual cases documented in previous reports, may lead to a reappraisal of the nature of aggressive angiomyxoma.
侵袭性血管黏液瘤是一种罕见的间叶性黏液样肿瘤，其特征为生长缓慢和频繁局部复发。目前它被认为是一种非转移性肿瘤。我们描述了一例侵袭性血管黏液瘤复发的病例，该肿瘤侵犯了包括下腔静脉和右心房在内的静脉，并发生了肺转移。我们的病例以及以前报告中记载的那些不常见病例，可能会导致对侵袭性血管黏液瘤性质的重新评估。
