A Case of Masson’s Tumor in Lateral Neck

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 Hemangioma

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.

Head Neck

Masson’s tumor is a rare, benign, vascular lesion, commonly affecting the head, neck and peripheries. It is usually asymptomatic and can be confused with malignant tumors. We report a 56-year-old male who presented with a solitary swelling in the right side of neck which was clinically diagnosed as a benign cystic lesion, hence complete excision of the lesion was done. Histopathology demonstrated the papillary proliferation of endothelial cells, in favour of Masson’s tumor.

Reactive Proliferation

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a rare benign vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, characterized by a reactive proliferation of endothelial cells that can present de novo in normal blood vessels (primary intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia), but it can also develop from a pre-existing vascular process (type II intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia), or it can arise in an extravascular location from a post-traumatic haematoma. The differential diagnosis between intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia and malignant vascular tumours can be challenging, due to the lacking of a specific radiologic description. We present a case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the hand radiologically mimicking a hemangiopericytoma.

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.

ABSTRACT Cystic lesions in the neck are common. It is customary to classify them as those arising in the midline and those in the lateral neck. Dermoid cysts are present along the lines of embryonic fusion and hence said to be occurring due to an embryonic accident during the development. Most common locations in the neck are the lateral end of eyebrows and the floor of the mouth in the midline. We present a rare case of dermoid presenting as a mass in the lateral aspect of neck. Our case is unique since even though it was a dermoid cyst, the presentation of the mass was in the upper lateral neck which is very uncommon. A 28-year-old lady presented with a swelling at the junction of the upper one-third and lower two-third of the left sternocleidomastoid muscle. Intraoperatively, the cyst had extension from the lateral aspect of neck along the carotid sheath to the superior mediastinum. Dermoid cysts do present occasionally as lateral neck mass and must be kept in the differential diagnosis. Even though characteristic radiological and histopathological features make the diagnosis of dermoid cyst simple yet it may be difficult to diagnose, if present at unusual locations.

AbstractIntravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), often referred to as Masson’s Tumor, is an uncommon yet benign vascular disease of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It usually arises within a blood vessel, but is considered to be a non-neoplastic reactive endothelial proliferation commonly associated with vascular injury. Although it is rare, knowledge of this disease is important as it may mimic other benign and malignant tumors, especially angiosarcoma, which may lead to unnecessary aggressive management. Typically, IPEHs are asymptomatic and are slow growing soft-tissue masses with extremely low-recurrence rates. In this article, we describe a 19-year-old male with a recurrence of Masson’s Tumor over the right little finger within 2 months of a routine excision of the lesion. We also present accompanying multimodality clinical, radiological, and pathological imaging. This case illustrates the innocuous nature of the initial lesion easily mistaken for a hemangioma. Awareness of the possibility of a recurrence of a Masson’s Tumor is important for clinicians to rule out the presence of malignant vascular lesions.
