Abstract

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor occurring usually in women of reproductive age in pelvic-perineum region. These myofibroblastic tumors rarely affect men and non-pelvic-perineum anatomical sites. There are few literature references for aggressive angiomyxoma in men. We describe a case of a 57-year old male with aggressive angiomyxoma of the scrotum and its management.
