Aggressive angiomyxoma of vulva in a young female: a rare entity with an unusual presentation

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare benign neoplasm usually involving the pelvic region. It is six times more common in females than males. It occurs almost exclusively in adult females. The term aggressive signifies the neoplastic character of the blood vessels, its locally invasive nature, and the high risk of local recurrence. Here we report a rare case of an eighteen year old female, who had a vulvar swelling for over two years, which turned out to be aggressive angiomyxoma after wide local excision on histopathological examination.
