Indian Dermatol Online J. 2014 Apr;5(2):151-3. doi: 10.4103/2229-5178.131085.

Abstract

Myxoid tumors are a heterogeneous group of lesions characterized by a marked abundance of extra cellular mucoid (myxoid) matrix.[1] The term aggressive emphasizes the often infiltrative nature of the tumor and its frequent association with recurrence.[2] A case of aggressive angiomyxoma arising from the vagina in a 55-year-old woman is reported for its rarity.

Keywords: Aggressive; Carney complex; angio myxoma.
