Genital Prolapse in Pregnant Woman as a Presentation of Aggressive Angiomyxoma: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare entity within mesenchymal cell neoplasms, especially in pregnant women. Its main characteristic is the ability to infiltrate neighboring structures and to recur. Case Presentation: We present the case of a pregnant woman who debuted with a genital prolapse in the second trimester of pregnancy. She was diagnosed with bilateral ovarian teratomas and a pelvic mass of which the diagnosis could not be established until delivery. The route of delivery used was cesarean section since the genital prolapse behaved as a previous tumor. After the puerperium, the patient was referred for consultation to complete the study of the mass. The extension study was carried out with a negative result. The patient underwent surgery for tumor exeresis. Hormonal treatment was not administered according to the patient's preferences. Conclusions: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a benign neoplasm that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic tumors in women. In pregnant women, the vaginal route of delivery is not contraindicated as long as the tumor does not obstruct the birth canal. The definitive treatment is surgery, preferably performed in a second stage after delivery.

Mucinosis nodular de la mama / Nodular mucinosis of the breast

La mucinosis nodular de la mama es una rara entidad de histogénesis incierta y con comportamiento benigno. Suele presentarse como una tumoración asintomática en torno a pezón o areola y localizada en dermis o tejido celular subcutáneo. Presentamos un caso de mucinosis nodular típica. Histológicamente se define por estar constituida por lagos irregulares de mucina negativos con PAS pero positivos con hierro coloidal y azul alcián. La mucina se acompaña de estroma fibroso con un escaso componente de células fusiformes. Algunos autores sugieren un posible origen miofibroblástico. No obstante no se han realizado estudios moleculares de la mucinosis nodular. El diagnóstico diferencial se ha de hacer principalmente con lesiones mamarias benignas y malignas de estroma mucinoso. En la literatura se describen 13 casos de mucinosis nodular

Nodular mucinosis of the breast is a rare entity of uncertain histogenesis and with benign behavior. It usually presents as an asymptomatic tumor around the nipple or areola and located in the dermis or subcutaneous cellular tissue. We present a case of typical nodular mucinosis. Histologically it is defined as being composed of irregular lakes of mucin negative with PAS but positive with colloidal iron and alcian blue. Mucin is accompanied by fibrous stroma with a scarce component of fusiform cells. Some authors suggest a possible myofibroblastic origin. However, molecular studies of nodular mucinosis have not been performed. The differential diagnosis must be made mainly with benign and malignant mammary lesions of mucinous stroma. In the literature, 13 cases of nodular mucinosis are described
