| description | Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare benign tumor with diverse clinical and radiologic presentations, making its differential diagnosis challenging. Here we report the second recurrence of an aggressive angiomyxoma of the vulva in a 33-year-old woman who presented with pain and swelling. Clinical examination revealed a well-circumscribed large palpable mass extending from the inferior part of the right labia major into the right side of the gluteus. A second recurrence of aggressive angiomyxoma was suspected based on the patient’s history, clinical examination, and magnetic resonance imaging report, and the patient underwent surgical resection with a negative margin. Histological evaluation of the extracted lesion confirmed the diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient was recurrence-free. The present report urges more awareness regarding the aggressiveness of angiomyxoma of the vulva. Closer attention should be given to margin-free removal of such tumors, and patients should be routinely followed up for at least 2 years postoperatively for early diagnosis of recurrence, thereby reducing the risk of morbidity. |
