Perineal Excision of a Large Angiomyxoma in a Young Woman Following Magnetic Resonance and Angiographic Imaging

Abstract Background. Aggressive angiomyxomas are rare, arise from connective tissue of the perineum or the lower pelvis, and affect predominantly young women. Case. We describe an unusual case of aggressive angiomyxoma in which the perineal approach was possible owing to MRI scanning and selective angiography indications. Conclusion. In cases of large aggressive angiomyxomas these diagnostic procedures should make it possible to decide which operative route might be best for the patient.
