Abstract :
Introduction: Mesenchymal tumours are rare tumours which primarily affect females in their reproductive years. One such tumour is an angiomyxoma, typically arising from the connective tissue of the lower pelvis or perineum. It has a propensity for local recurrence and hence is termed ?aggressive?. Less than 10 such case studies have been published in India, reporting this rare mesenchymal tumour. Here, we would like to report one such case that presented as a benign cervical polyp in VMMC & SJH, Delhi. Case Report: A 40-year-old multiparous female presented to the out-patient department with complaints of polymenorrhea and pain abdomen for one month. On examination, a polypoid mass was observed arising from the posterior lip of cervix. Excision of the mass was planned and done as a minor procedure. On histopathological analysis of the mass, a well circumscribed neoplasm comprising of satellite cells embedded in myxoid stroma was seen with interspersed chicken wire blood vessels. On IHC, tumour cells were found to be positive for Desmin and ER, vessels highlighted by CD34 and SMA. Thorough counselling regarding recurrence of the lesion was done. In our case report, we kept the patient on regular follow up till date. Discussion: The histopathological diagnosis confirmed angiomyxoma, showing characteristic myxoid stroma and vascular components. The tumour was differentiated from other myxoid tumours such as myxoid liposarcoma and myxoma by its unique histological features, including the striking vascular component. Conclusions: Angiomyxoma, though rare, can present as a cervical polyp, requiring careful histological evaluation to differentiate it from other myxoid neoplasms. Complete excision is the treatment of choice due to the potential for local recurrence and it?s aggressive behaviour. Long-term follow-up is essential, as recurrence is possible despite its benign nature.
