Aggressive angiomyxoma and cellular angiofibroma are uncommon mesenchymal tumors. Imaging plays an important role in suggesting their diagnosis and in delineating the extent of the lesion. Additionally, histopathological examination provides the definite diagnosis. An understanding of their histological features and correlating that with the key imaging features on radiology helps in narrowing the differential diagnosis, and thereby aids in management and outcome. We herein present a case of both entities in patients presenting with history of a palpable peri-anal mass. We describe the radiological and histological features of aggressive angiomyxoma and cellular angiofibroma and highlight the similarities and differentiating factors between them.
侵袭性血管黏液瘤和细胞性血管纤维瘤是罕见的间叶组织肿瘤。影像学在提示其诊断及描绘病变范围方面发挥着重要作用。此外,组织病理学检查可提供明确诊断。了解它们的组织学特征并将其与放射学上的关键影像学特征相关联,有助于缩小鉴别诊断范围,从而辅助治疗及判断预后。我们在此报告一例有可触及肛周肿块病史患者同时患有这两种肿瘤的病例。我们描述了侵袭性血管黏液瘤和细胞性血管纤维瘤的放射学和组织学特征,并强调了它们之间的相似性和鉴别要点。
