Abstract
We describe seven cases of aggressive angiomyxoma of the pelvioperinea l region. In three cases, we observed immunohistochemical signs of myo id differentiation in the tumor cells. In one of these cases, we could confirm the myoid differentiation at the ultrastructural level. The o ther four cases were devoid of this differentiation. We further discus s the relationship of aggressive angiomyxoma to the recently described angiomyofibroblastoma of the vulva.
