“…The peak incidence is at the age of 40 years approximately (7). The disease can occur throughout the body (4, 8), mainly in the trunk, extremities, head and neck, and rarely in the perineum and vulva (3,9). This case is a middle-aged man with a giant tumor in the perineum, which is rare.…”

Giant superficial angiomyxoma of the male perineum: A case report

et al. 2023

Superficial angiomyxoma (SA) is a rare benign tumor that occurs either in the superficial dermis or subcutaneously. It often occurs in the trunk, neck, or limbs, and grows slowly. The diameter of the tumor is usually less than 5 cm. A giant SA of the perineum in men is very rare. We detailed the diagnosis and treatment of male patients with perineal SA and performed a literature review. We report a case of a 42-year-old male patient. He was admitted to hospital with a perineal mass found more than 1 year previously. A pelvic contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan in our hospital suggests that a round slightly hypointense foci of about 6.0 cm × 8.6 cm × 4.5 cm in size with still clear borders was seen below the penile corpus cavernosum in the perineum. We performed a perineal mass excision under continuous epidural anesthesia. A postoperative pathology report diagnosed perineal SA. There was no recurrence at follow-up for 27 months up to May 2022. Perineal SA is rare and should be combined with patient history and imaging to ensure complete excision of the mass margins. Adherence to long-term postoperative follow-up is the key to curing this case.

“…However, the tumors can also occur in the external genitalia. [378] Almost all reported cases of vulvar SAM have been confined to the subcutaneous adipose layer and often exhibit nodular growth and papular skin disease. [4] In such cases, ultrasonography reveals an oval or circular heterogeneous hypoechoic mass that may be accompanied by posterior echo enhancement, a capsule, a clear boundary, and an abundant blood flow signal in the mass.…”

“…[2] It can occur in many parts of the body but mainly presents in the head, neck, limbs, and trunk. [34] While SAM occurs at all ages, it primarily develops in middle-aged individuals (20–40 years) and is slightly more common in males than in females. [5] Most publications on this disease are case reports.…”

Sonographic findings in superficial angiomyxoma of the vulva in a perimenopausal female

Superficial angiomyxoma (SAM) is an extremely rare soft tissue tumor. It is especially rare in the vulva, with only a few such cases reported in the medical literature. Here, we report a case of SAM of the vulva that was initially suspected to be a Bartholin gland cyst. The patient underwent local excision of the vulvar cyst under lumbar anesthesia. Clinical manifestations and B-scan ultrasonographic features are similar between SAM and cysts. Echoes in the mass are uneven and exhibit low echoes and punctate hyperechoic floating. Thus, increasing sonographers’ awareness of the high-frequency ultrasonography findings associated with this rare tumor could broaden their knowledge base.

“…Both the above mentioned reports highlight the infiltrative nature and tendency for local recurrence. Wang et al 5 have reported a case of superficial angiomyxoma of the penis, which unlike AAM had well defined borders and was easily resectable. In our case, the infiltrative lesion could only be partially resected form glanular tissues and a neomeatus was fashioned after the partial resection and a ventral meatotomy.…”

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare benign mesenchymal stromal tumour, characterized by locally infiltrative nature and a tendency for recurrence. Only a few cases of penile involvement have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of aggressive penile angiomyxoma in a sixty-two-year-old obese, diabetic male patient. He presented with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and diffuse enlargement of the penis and scrotum. He was managed with excision, reduction scrotoplasty, internal urethrotomy, followed by Leuprolide therapy for prevention of recurrence. He is on follow up for 20 months without recurrence and obstructive symptoms.
