Aggressive angiomyxoma of scrotum in a young male: A rare entity

Abstract

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal benign myxoid tumor of the pelvis and perineum which occurs almost exclusively in adult females. It rarely occurs in males and involves scrotum. Here, we report a case of aggressive angiomyxoma in a 15-year-old male presented with a slow-growing scrotal swelling for 6 months. About 150 cases were reported worldwide (few cases were reported in males). AAM in the scrotal region may present as a scrotal mass, often mistaken for a hernia or hydrocele.
