Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, also Masson's hemangioma,[1] is a benign vascular lesion.
It is also known as a Masson tumour.[2]
General
- Benign non-neoplastic lesion - a vessel that has thrombosed and recanalized.
- Histomorphologically may be confused with low-grade angiosarcoma or other soft tissue sarcomas.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Well-circumscribed - key (low power) feature.
- Abundant small vascular channels with benign endothelium.
- +/-Papillary formation with a fibrotic core covered by benign endothelium.[3]
