title: Aggressive angiomyxoma of the pelvis: case report and review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of recurrent aggressive angiomyxoma managed by a team composed of a radiologist, general surgeon, and reproductive endocrinologist, with a literature review which focuses on histologic differences between various types of myxomas.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report and literature review.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The proband patient has an apparent cure, but this particular type of myxoma shows a proclivity for recurrence, sometimes years after resection. Therefore, long-term follow-up with MRI or CT scans is necessary. Preoperative management with vessel embolization and creation of gonadal suppression facilitates the surgical approach, which usually can be via a perineal, extraperitoneal route.
