To report a case of aggressive inguinal angiomyxoma in a male patient.An 82-year-old male patient presented with a well-defined, 6 cm. parafunicular mass in the right groin. The mass was located adjacent to the spermatic cord and had been noted 8 years earlier. Patient evaluation included CT, ultrasound and immunohistochemical studies.The CT and US findings suggested lymph node enlargement. Microscopic analysis showed a myxoid tumor with partially infiltrating margins, vascular channels of small-sized vessels with thick walls occasionally with hyalinization and spindle-shaped or stellate mesenchymal cells with ill-defined margins without atypia or mitosis that were positive for vimentin and negative for actin, desmin, keratins, CD34 and protein S-100. No tumor recurrence or metastasis has been observed at 26-months' follow-up.To our knowledge, this is one of the few cases of inguinal angiomyxoma in male patients; 16 have been reported to date. This neoplasm appears to originate from pelvic soft tissue fibroblasts. |
