Current Terminology

Masson’s tumour, an uncommon, benign vascular disorder was first described by Pierre Masson in 1923 as an intravascular papillary proliferation that emerged from an inflamed hemorrhoidal vein of a 68-year-old man and termed it as “Hemangioendotheliome vegetant intravasculaire”.1 He interpreted the lesion as a form of neoplasm, however, Henschen portrayed it as a reactive phenomenon. The current terminology intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) was put forward by Clearkin and Enzinger in 1976 considering it as a reactive change occurring secondary to trauma-related vascular stasis.2 The tumour constitutes 2-4 % of all skin and soft tissue tumours. The common locations are head, neck and extremities.3 Masson’s tumour being a benign entity with an excellent prognosis is essential to differentiate from its closer mimic, angiosarcoma which needs aggressive treatment. This case is put up here because of its rarity and its clinical implications.

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.

Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia

Intracranial intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also referred to as Masson’s tumor, is a condition that rarely occurs in the nervous system. IPEH most frequently occurs extracranially in the skin of the face, skull, neck, and trunk and can easily be mistaken clinically, radiologically, and histologically for angiosarcoma, organizing hematoma, or other vascular malformations. IPEH accounts for roughly 2% of all vascular tumors and is extremely rare intracranially, with only 23 reported cases compared with more than 300 cases of IPEH occurring in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. To date, it has never been reported to occur in the pineal region. The authors report the case of a patient with an IPEH in the pineal region who underwent complex resection and experienced reversal of neurological symptoms.
