[Perineal recurrence of an aggressive angiomyxoma: Is an incomplete resection useful?].
Angiomyxoma is a rare but aggressive mesenchymal tumor. It commonly develops in the pelvis, perineum and groin and is more common in females. Angiomyxoma characteristically has a high incidence of local recurrence. The only treatment of recurrence is surgical re-excision. We report a case of recurrent aggressive angiomyxoma, which was only incompletely resected.
