Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is an uncommon mesenchymal myxoid tumor that almost solely involves the soft tissues of the perineum and pelvis. An AAM originating from the liver is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of a 45-year-old female with a large mass in the left lateral lobe of the liver. She underwent a left lateral lobe hepatectomy. The histopathology of the resected specimen showed features that were characteristic of AAM. Immunohistochemical analysis of the neoplastic cells showed reactions to antibodies against CD34, smooth muscle actin (SMA), and Ki67 (2%) and showed no reactions to antibodies against Estrogen receptor (ER), C-keratin (CK), and Desmin. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with a primary AAM of the liver. This is the largest AAM of the liver that has been reported. We hereby report these findings and review the current literature.
侵袭性血管黏液瘤(AAM)是一种罕见的间叶黏液样肿瘤,几乎仅累及会阴和骨盆的软组织。起源于肝脏的AAM极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例45岁女性,其肝脏左外侧叶有一个巨大肿块。她接受了左外侧叶肝切除术。切除标本的组织病理学显示出AAM的特征性表现。对肿瘤细胞进行免疫组织化学分析,结果显示肿瘤细胞对针对CD34、平滑肌肌动蛋白(SMA)和Ki67(2%)的抗体有反应,而对针对雌激素受体(ER)、细胞角蛋白(CK)和结蛋白的抗体无反应。该患者随后被诊断为原发性肝脏AAM。这是已报道的最大的肝脏AAM。我们特此报告这些发现并回顾当前文献。
