Overview: This paper is on the pre-surgical evaluation of an aggressive vulvar angiomyxoma using MR based three-dimensional (3D) modeling. A graphics computer was used to outline the tumor and other soft tissue structures on axial T2-weighted MR images of the pelvic floor. Specialized software was then applied to the edited images to build a 3D model. The model was viewed and manipulated on the computer screen, and 3D photographs were taken to the OR. This allowed the surgeon to see the tumor and associated structures from multiple angles. Improved pre-operative planning allowed for an effective and efficient surgical intervention.
