Superficial Angiomyxoma: A Rare Cause of Genital Mass in Adolescent

Abstract

Abscess, hemangiomas and soft tissue masses are present in the differential diagnosis of genital masses in children. We aimed to present an adolescent patient with labial angiomyxoma. Fourteen years-old girl had a hard, immobile, painless mass in her right labium which has been growing progressively for last 9 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 42x33x38 mm sized, multiloculated and lobulated contoured mass in right labium. The mass was excised and the pathological examination was compatible with angiomyxoma. There are no intraoperative or postoperative complications. She had no local recurrence in postoperative 1 year-follow-up. Genitourinary angiomyxomas are rarely seen in adolescent patients. Close follow-up after surgical excision for local recurrence is essential.

Adolesanda Nadir Bir Genital Kitle Nedeni Olarak Yüzeyel Anjiyomiksoma

Abstract

Çocuklarda genital bölge kitlelerinin ayırıcı tanısında abseler, hemanjiomlar ve yumuşak doku kaynaklı kitleler yer alır. Labial anjiomiksomalı adolesan hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. On dört yaşında kız hasta 9 ay içinde progresif büyüyen sağ labiumda sert, immobil, ağrısız bir kitle ile başvurdu. Yapılan manyetik rezonans incelemede sağ labium majus düzeyinde 42x33x38 mm boyutlu, multilokule, lobule konturlu kitlesel lezyon saptandı. Eksize edildi ve patolojisi anjiyomiksoma ile uyumlu saptandı. Hastanın lokal nüks açısından takipleri devam etmekte olup ameliyat sırasında ve sonrasında herhangi bir sorun yaşanmadı. Genitoüriner anjiomiksomalar adolesanlarda nadiren görülür. Cerrahi eksizyonu ve lokal nüks açısından postoperatif yakın takibi önemlidir.
