| Popis: | The authors recently treated a case of aggressive angiomyxoma occurring in the left scrotum. A 61-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as having an inguinal irreducible hernia that descended to the bottom of the scrotum preoperatively. However, during the operation a large tumor was found between the spermatic fascia and the skin pressing the testis upward. The tumor measured 20 x 15 x 15 cm, was yellowish with a smooth surface encapsulated by a membrane similar to the pleura, and the cut surface was gelatinous. The histological findings indicated that the tumor had thick-walled vessels which had prominently increased in size, delicately waved collagen fibers, and stromal cells in a myxoid background. The patient has remained recurrence-free as of 11 months after surgery. |
