Abstract
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, slow-growing mesenchymal tumor of vulvo-perineal and pelvic topography in women of reproductive age. We report the case of a 33-year-old female patient in the genitally active period who underwent surgery for pelvic pathology and presented with chronic pelvic pain with a sensation of heaviness, evolving in a context of apyrexia and preservation of general condition. The anatomopathological diagnosis was aggressive pelvic angiomyxoma associated with a recurrence of her disease. The diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma should be made in a genitally active woman presenting with a slow-growing mass of the pelvis and perineum. Preoperative diagnosis using MRI will alter the patient's surgical management and prognosis.
