2. Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare myofibroblastic tumor that is common among young women.
It involves preferentially pelvic and perineal regions and was first described by Steeper and Rosai in 1983.

3. Despite its ‘’aggressive ‘’ nature with local infiltration and frequent recurrence, metastasis is unusual.

4. CASE REPORT
We report a case of vulvar aggressive angiomyxoma which is a rare giant tumor in 39-year-old female.
She was referred to us with a large mass of the left vulva , measuring 15 centimeters.

6. The presence of desmin,estrogen and progesteron reseptor in immunohistochemical studies performed after complete surgical excision of the mass.
Our diagnosis of angiomyxoma is confirmed.

8. The differential diagnosis of superficial angiomyxomas with aggressive angiomyxoma is very important.
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a non-metastasizing, locally infiltrative tumour which occurs most commonly in the soft tissue of female pelvis and perineum.
Aggressive angiomyxoma are large lesions usually greater than 10 cm in diameter (Dierickx et al. 2008)

9. Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumor.
The treatment is mainly surgical.
Complete resection decreases the recurrence.
