An unusual presentation of a rare tumour: aggressive angiomyxoma

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a very rare variety of soft tissue tumour exclusively involves the vulvovagina, perineum and pelvic region of women of reproductive age group. We report the case of a 48-year old woman presented with gluteal mass. Nature of the mass could not be diagnosed by clinical radiological and imaging evaluation, however it was found to extend from pelvis to gluteal region. It was removed surgically. Histopathology revealed the mass to be aggressive angiomyxoma, a rare variety of pelviperineal tumour extended from pelvis to the gluteal region. AAM presenting as a gluteal mass is extremely rare.
