Clinical case of aggressive angiomyxoma

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare myxoid-mesenchymal neoplasm, mainly occurring in the pelvis and perineum in women, most often in the reproductive age group. In men, the tumor affects similar areas, including the scrotum and inguinal region, and usually appears at an older age. The main features of angiomyxoma are asymptomatic course and difficulties in diagnosis in the presence  of a tendency to deep invasion and recurrence after surgical treatment. A rare clinical case of pelvic angiomyxoma in a 64-year-old patient was described. The diagnosis was established after its removal. Literature on diagnosis and treatment of angiomyxomas is presented.
