Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To report a case of recurrent aggressive angiomyxoma managed by a team composed of a radiologist, general surgeon, and reproductive endocrinologist, with a literature review which focuses on histologic differences between various types of myxomas. STUDY DESIGN: Case report and literature review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The proband patient has an apparent cure, but this particular type of myxoma shows a proclivity for recurrence, sometimes years after resection. Therefore, long-term follow-up with MRI or CT scans is necessary. Preoperative management with vessel embolization and creation of gonadal suppression facilitates the surgical approach, which usually can be via a perineal, extraperitoneal route.
