Summary:Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare tumor with a high risk of local recurrence. Scrotal AAM mimics common pediatric pathologies including hernia or hydrocele. We present 11-year-old boy who underwent macroscopically radical excision of right scrotal AAM. The patient has been already followed up for 29 months utilizing US every 6 months and MRI every 2 years. Residual scrotal mass has been visualized in MRI 3 months after surgery however no further growth was reported. Long term follow up with reliable local imaging is mandatory.
