Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that is predominantly seen in pelvic region of women (van Roggen et al. 2005). Deep pelvic soft tissues and perineum in women and periscrotal region in men are the most common locations (Amezcua et al. 2005). The tumour is called ‘aggressive’ due to deep soft tissue infiltration that causes local recurrence after surgical resection. We report a patient with aggressive angiomyxoma in the pelvic-perineal region that was incidentally detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which was performed for surgical planning of uterine fibroids.
