Abstract
Introduction
Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare, benign mass with propensity for local invasion
and recurrence after resection. Infrequently, this tumor can be found arising from
the scrotum or cord structures in males.
Aim/Methods
A case report is presented followed by a review of relevant literature addressing
the diagnosis, imaging, management and follow-up for aggressive angiomyxoma of the
scrotum.
Results
Imaging can assist in further characterization of masses noted on physical exam. Scrotal
sonography is typically the primary imaging modality utilized and magnetic resonance
imaging is able to provide further anatomic detail.
Treatment mainstay is surgical resection with necessary long term surveillance.
