Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor with a typical presentation as a slowly growing perineal soft tissue mass in paravulvar and pararectal region in young adult women. We present 3 cases of aggressive angiomyxoma with clinicopathological correlation and describe their main imaging features with emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging, adding useful information about their behavior on dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences and diffusion-weighted imaging and including a comprehensive review of the existing literature.

An aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of the lower female genital tract. The incidence of vaginal involvement is low, so it is commonly misdiagnosed as a Bartholin cyst, lipoma, and abscess, among others. This is a case of a 31-year-old female patient presenting with anterior vaginal wall swelling measuring 1 x 1 cm, clinically diagnosed as vaginal carbuncle.

Deep or aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon neoplasm of the pelvis. Although deep angiomyxoma is a benign tumor, its tendency to infiltrate soft tissues and reach a large size (typically > 10 cm) indicates aggressive biological behavior. It is usually present in female patients, but there have been recent reports of male-aggressive angiomyxoma.

Cardiac myxoma in its morphology is a typical benign tumor, meanwhile, the fact of its localization in the heart chamber, directly in the constant blood flow, largely determines the clinical behavior of this neoplasm, which is often manifested by the development of characteristics that formally determine the aggressive and even malignant nature of the course. Accordingly, the malignancy of cardiac myxoma is determined more by its clinical behavior (recurrence, multifocality of the lesion, the presence of mechanisms of spread similar to metastasis) rather than by its histological picture. In the structure of primary benign tumors of the heart, myxoma occupies a dominant position and its incidence is up to 85%.

From the Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a very rare tumour arising from the vulvovaginal mesenchymal tissue. The literature has not reported its co-existence with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). A 30-year-old female presented with a giant pedunculated mass arising from a scarred and disfigured perineum for 3 years.

Objective: and rationale: Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon odontogenic tumor with locally aggressive behavior. The clinicopathological studies of odontogenic myxoma in Asian countries are very limited and only few studies have investigated the immunohistochemical profiles of the tumor. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of odontogenic myxoma at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University over a 15-year period.
