    Blue nevus is uncommon pigmented lesion of the skin that rarely appears in the different mucoses, such as cervix or vagina. Sixteen cases of cervical blue nevi were diagnosed in our department in a five-year period (2000-2004). Localized in the stroma of the cervical canal, predominantly in the posterior lip, the lesions measured 0.1-2 cm. Prussian blue stain excluded the presence of hemosiderin and Masson-Fontana, S100 and HMB-45 stains confirmed the melanocytic nature of the lesions. Our findings are similar to those published in several studies. The recognition of this obscure lesion prevents its misinterpretation as siderosis or malignant melanoma.

    Intraduction: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing, locally aggressive tumor, occurring in women in their reproductive years. Case report: A case of aggressive angiomyxoma of the vulva, clinically interpreted as a cyst, occurring in a 32-year-old female patient is presented. After incomplete removal, the tumor recurred more than ten times in the next 28 years. During the initial histopathological examination of the recurrent tumors they were misinterpreted as dermatofibroma/dermatofibrosarcoma. Differential diagnostic and therapeutical possibilities are discussed as well. Conclusion: The risk of recurrence in patients with aggressive angiomyxoma can be significantly reduced with appropriate recognition and adequate therapy.
