Imaging features of a rare giant intra-abdominal aggressive angiomyxoma.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign tumor that arises from connective tissue, prominently located in the vulva, vagina, perineum, and pelvis and is mainly found in women aged about 20-40 years old. Giant intraabdominal tumors have rarely been described. These tumors develop slowly over time and are often difficult to diagnose due to various clinical findings, especially in the early stages. Even though surgery is the primary treatment method, the possibility of complete resection is sometimes limited because the tumor tends to infiltrate nearby structures, leading to local recurrence. Only about 10% of AAM cases can be accurately diagnosed before treatment, which causes ineffective outcomes. This article demonstrates a case of giant intra-abdominal AAM precisely diagnosed by suspicious signs on CT and MRI scans before starting treatment.
