What is Rare paratesticular aggressive angiomyxoma mimicking an epididymal tumor in an 82-year-old man: Case report about?

## Abstract Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare mesenchymal myxoid tumor, and most cases occur in the pelvic region or perineum of adult females. AAM is very rare in males. Most of these cases have been diagnosed in patients aged 30–60 years, and the tumors involved the pelvic cavity, scrotum, or spermatic cord. AAM can mimic inguinal hernia, hydrocele, or paratesticular neoplasm. Four male cases have been reported with paratesticular AAM mimicking a testicular/epididymal tumor, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the oldest patient in the literature. Because of its rarity, making an exact diagnosis before surgery is difficult. Herein, we present a case of AAM in an 82-year-old man and review the literature.
