Abstract
We discuss an interesting case of a 67 years old female patient with an abdominal lump leading to a reporting dilemma among female genital tract lesions in which even though clinical acumen, radiological findings and gross examination of the resected specimen pointed towards a certain malignant provisional diagnosis, actually turned out to be a rare benign entity of Aggressive Angiomyxoma when seen under the microscope and proved on immunohistochemistry, pressing upon the importance of correlation of all the findings (clinical, radiological, gross and microscopy) while making a diagnosis. We also press upon the gravity of proper communication between the reporting pathologist and treating physician for the best possible patient management.
