Aggressive Angiomyxoma in Males
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Paratesticular aggressive angiomyxoma is a very rare tumour in males. Most of documented cases of aggressive angiomyxomas have been seen in genital, perineal and pelvic regions in women of child bearing age. We report two cases of aggressive angiomyxomas in males who presented with inguinal swellings. A globular mass with greyish white, glistening cut surface was received after excision of the mass. Microscopic examination revealed a paucicellular tumour comprising of spindle shaped cells along with vessels of varying calibre. The accompanying stroma was myxocollagenous. In addition there was evidence of fat infiltration in one of the cases. Immunohistochemical staining showed CD34, desmin, vimetin positivity and negative staining for S100, actin, Estrogen Receptors (ER) and Progesterone Receptors (PR). The microscopic and immunohistochemical features favoured the diagnosis of aggressive angiomyxoma. This report of angiomyxoma in two cases of males assumes great significance in view of the extreme rarity of the tumour in males and its locally infiltrative nature.
