Abstract
It is a case of 39 year old female who presented with complaint of heavy menstrual bleeding. On local examination no abnormality or mass were detected but due to worsening of clinical condition patient underwent laproscopic hysterectomy. In histopathology grossly cervix showed a dark brown area with few pinpoint blood vessels and spongy texture. On microscopic examination subepithelium of cervix showed a tumor composed of spindle and stellate cells embedded in loose myxoidstroma. Cells were small and bland with absent nuclear atypia. Vessels of different calibres were seen within the tumor. Tumor was seen extending deep into the cervix. Features of chronic cervicitis and nabothian cysts were also noted. Tumor cells were positive for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, smooth muscle actin(SMA) and negative for desmin and S-100. Based on above findings diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma of cervix was given. It’s a rare presentation of a nonpolypoidal aggressive angiomyxoma in Cervix, diagnosed incidentally on hysterectomy specimen.
