Abstract
Two cases of aggressive angiomyxoma of the pelvis and perineum are des cribed; the first occurred in 32 year old woman who had a vulvar mass, the second in a 78 year old man who presented inguinal hernia. This r ecently described entity is characterized by its microscopic appearanc e (low cellularity, loose myxoid stroma and prominent vascular compone nt), and propensity to local aggressivity, and common recurrence after surgery.
