Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson’s tumor is a rare reactive disease of vascular origin characterized by exuberant proliferation of endothelial cells notably occurring within blood vessels of head, neck, and extremities. The importance of this entity is its ability to mimic a variety of diseases both benign and malignant in the orofacial region. Here, we present a case of Masson’s tumor within the masseter muscle in a 40-year-old female with emphasis on the sequential investigative procedures performed to diagnose this entity.

AbstractIntravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson's tumor is a rare reactive disease of vascular origin characterized by exuberant proliferation of endothelial cells. Its importance lies in its ability to mimic a variety of diseases, both benign and malignant. Here, we present a unique case of Masson's tumor arising from the abdominal supraceliac aorta in a 32-year-old man initially misdiagnosed as leaking aortic pseudoaneurysm.

Masson’s tumor or Masson’s hemangioma, more precisely termed intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is an uncommon benign vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues which can be frequently confused with angiosarcoma. Although relatively rare, its accurate diagnosis is essential since it can clinically be similar to both benign and malignant lesions. We present a 39-year-old man with a round bulging arising from the left palm side of the hand with gradual growth in the last 5 months and on and off tenderness. The microscopic section demonstrated the papillary proliferation of endothelial cells in favor of Masson’s hemangioma, which was sufficiently treated with excision alone.

Masson’s tumor, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is a rare, benign vascular tumor characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells with papillary formations. Differential diagnosis between IPEH and angiosarcoma is important because both have microscopic similarity. Herein, we report a rare case of IPEH on the right lateral neck of a 50-year-old female presenting with a neck mass, which was completely removed without complication.

Masson's tumour, also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, is a rare non-neoplastic lesion of vascular origin, caused by an excessive reactive proliferation of endothelial cells in normal blood vessels or vascular malformations. It can affect any part of the body, presenting most frequently in the vessels of the head, neck and upper extremities. The authors describe the case of a 76-year-old female patient presenting an anterior cervical mass, measuring 2×2 cm, which was mobile, tender and slightly painful with no alteration of the overlying skin. Complementary study with ultrasound and computed tomography was inconclusive. Total excision of the lesion was performed with histology compatible with intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia.

Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (IPEH) or Masson’s Tumor is a benign vascular tumor, most commonly seen on the skin and usually on the head, neck or extremities. It is more common in women with no age predilection. Visceral involvement is very rare, with about 30 intra-abdominal reports. We present a case report of a 58 year old woman who underwent a CT scan due to dysphagia complaints, with an incidental known finding of growth in the adrenal adenoma, which was 5 cm in diameter on hospitalization. The patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Biopsy results demonstrated a brownish yellow lesion, 2.8 cm in diameter, composed of a blood clot and septate. Immunochemical staining for CD31 and CD34 was positive and the lesion was diagnosed as an IPEH of pure form. Our review of literature examines different forms of IPEH, previous reports and characteristics of Masson’s tumors in the adrenal gland and stratifies ways of differentiation it from other benign or malignant lesions of the adrenal.
