- Abstract
Angiomyxoma is a rare tumor arising from the pelvis. Preoperative diagnosis and treatment may be difficult. We report a case of aggressive angiomyxoma pelvis that presented as vault prolapse and was misdiagnosed as ovarian tumor. Conclusion: As surgery is the main treatment, preoperative diagnosis and assessment of extent of the tumor for planning surgery cannot be overemphasized.
