Abstract

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a mesenchymal tumor that arises from perineal or lower pelvic connective tissue. This tumor is locally aggressive. It has mostly been found in reproductive age group females. The correct diagnosis and follow-up of this tumor are very important, as it has similar presentation to many other vulvar masses and it tends to recur due to its locally aggressive nature. We report here a case of 40-year-old female P2L2, who presented with a soft, non-tender swelling on the left labia majora.
