ABSTRACT = {We present a case of pelvic aggressive angiomyxoma 
presenting as urinary retention in a male. A 46-year-old 
male presented with urinary retention and was found 
on computed tomography (CT) scan of the pelvis to have 
a large pelvic tumor. A transrectal ultrasound guided 
needle biopsy of the tumor and prostate revealed a myxoid 
tumor; low volume, low grade prostate cancer was also 
detected. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy 
and excision of the pelvic tumor which was diagnosed as 
aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM). The patient was free 
of recurrence after 1 year of follow up.<br/>
AAM is a benign myxoid tumor seen very rarely in 
males. Treatment consists of surgical excision with 
negative margins. Tumors variably express estrogen 
and progesterone receptors. Immunohistochemistry 
should be used to exclude other benign and malignant 
tumors. Patients should be followed with axial imaging 
as recurrence is common.},
