Epididim kistini taklit eden skrotal agresif anjiomiksoma: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Miksoid tümörler yumuşak doku tü­mörleri arasında yoğun ekstraselüler matriks varlığı ile karakterizedir. Agresif Anjiomikso­ma çoğunlukla yetişkin kadınlarda pelvis ve perinede nadir görülen mezenkimal benign miksoid tümörleridir. Kadınlarda erkeklere göre 6 kat daha fazla gözlenmektedir. Bu tü­mörler genel olarak lokal yayılım eğiliminde olup, tümörün cerrahi eksizyonu sonrası lo­kal rekürrens riski yüksektir. Erkeklerde çok nadiren görülen bu tümör, skrotumda hidro­sel veya fıtık kesesini taklit eder. Bu olgu su­numunda 40 yaş erkek hastada görüntü ola­rak epididim kistini taklit eden skrotal agresif anjiomiksoma vakamızı literatür eşliğinde tartışmayı amaçlamaktayız.

Scrotal aggressive angiomyxoma, mimicker of epididymal cyst: A case report

Abstract

Myxoid tumours of soft tissue encompass a heterogeneous group of lesions characterised by a variable abundance of extracellular matrix. Aggressive Angiomyxoma is a rare mesenchymal benign myxoid tumor of the pelvis and perineum which occurs almost exclusively in adult females. Overall, its incidence is about 6-folds higher in females and it is usually locally infiltrating and has a high risk of local recurrence after excision. Rarely, this tumor appears in males in the scrotal, presented as a scrotal mass mimicking hydrocele or hernia. In our case presentation, we aimed to discuss scrotal aggressive angiomyxoma radiologically mimicking the epididymal cyst that occured in 40 years age male patient with current literature.
