Abstract
Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, benign but locally aggressive mesenchymal neoplasm. We report the sonographic findings in a case of histologically p roven aggressive angiomyxoma of the bladder. Sonography revealed a solid po lypoid mass 2 cm in diameter with sharply demarcated borders, a heterogeneo us echotexture, and a slightly hyperechoic rim. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
