Abstract

Background:

Vulvo-vaginal masses has a varied presentation and causes. The most common differential diagnosis are condylomata acuminata, vulvular abscess, vulvular/vaginal cysts, vulval carcinoma, vulval lipoma, angiomyofibroblastoma and aggressive angiomyxoma. Surgical excision of the mass is the main method of treatment and the outcome differs with the histological diagnosis. We present a video of excision of a massive Vulvo vaginal mass in toto.

Case:

A 45 year old P3 L3 female, presented with complaint of mass in perineal area and discharge per vaginum for 2 years. The mass was growing progressively and reached the present size. On examination there was a 9 × 8 cm irregular firm to cystic mass, arising from posterior wall of vagina and protruding out of introitus with bossellated surface. The mass also extended into right ischiorectal fossa, 10 × 10 cm mass with cystic, smooth surface that was irreducible with no cough impulse. CECT abdomen and pelvis revealed a well-defined 12 × 10 × 8 cm mass in right perineum arising from right lower lateral vaginal wall with ischiorectal fossa extension. There was no extension into cervix, bladder or rectum. Biopsy taken from the mass was inconclusive. A wide local excision was done under general anesthesia wherein an ischiorectal and vaginal mass of size 30 × 10 cm with irregular margin was excised in toto. Histopathology was suggestive of aggressive angiomyxoma. The patient is under follow up.

Discussion:

Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a rare slow growing locally invasive mesenchymal tumor and has a substantial potential for recurrence. It is often misdiagnosed. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult due to rarity of this entity and absence of diagnostic features, but it should be considered in case of masses in genital, perianal and pelvic region in a woman of reproductive age. Radical surgical excision is the first line of management. A long term follow up of the case is necessary and MRI is preferred method for detecting recurrences.
