Abstract
A further case of aggressive angiomyxoma in men is reported. This is a rare benign locally invasive soft tissue tumor, that should be properly differentiated from other benign myxoid tumors, because it needs, for its high tendency to recur, a wide-margin surgery. On the other hand, it should be distinguished from malignant myxoid tumors, because it lacks metastatic potential and thus any adjunctive therapy results useless. With a prevalent incidence in women, we retain that it merits a wider recognition also in male urologic pathology.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
