“…However, its pathogenesis remains uncertain, and it may occur after a traumatic or inflammatory event [ 4 ], through endothelial cell proliferation resulting from a thrombus or secondary to vascular lesions [ 5 ]. With thrombus formation, there is blood stasis, and macrophages can be activated, they stimulates endothelial cell proliferation with papillary formations by releasing fibroblast growth factor contributing to a continuous process that leads to its progression [ 3 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) represents an uncommon reactive endothelial hyperplastic proliferation. A 46-year-old man experienced increased volume in the right maxilla, elevation of the nasal ala, and swelling of the hard palate with a reddish hue for 3 months. Computed tomography revealed an expansive hypodense region and cortical bone destruction associated with an impacted supernumerary tooth and an endodontically treated tooth. Under the differential diagnoses of a radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst, and ameloblastoma, an exploratory aspiration and incisional biopsy were performed. This revealed the formation of blood vessels of various diameters lined by endothelium, forming intravascular papillae positive for CD-34. The definitive diagnosis was IPEH, and the patient was treated by embolization and surgery. Histological analysis confirmed the presence of IPEH associated with an odontogenic cyst. After 12 months of follow-up, no recurrence was observed. Also, we reviewed case reports of IPEH affecting the maxilla and mandible. Fourteen intraosseous cases were reported in the maxilla and mandible, with a preference for males and affecting a wide age range. Complete surgical excision was the treatment of choice, and recurrences were not reported. The pathogenesis of IPEH is controversial and may originate from trauma or inflammatory processes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an association of IPEH with an odontogenic cyst. The importance of IPEH in the differential diagnosis of intraosseous lesions in the jaws is emphasized, and preoperative semiotic maneuvers are needed to prevent surgical complications.

“…IPEH comprises 2 to 4% of all vascular tumors of the skin and soft tissues, with the more common occurrences in the extremities (with a predilection for fingers), although they may occur anywhere, with an increasing number of reports demonstrating lesions arising in novel locations. [9][10][11][12] The incidence of IPEH mostly occurs in the third and fourth decades of life, with no gender predilection, although some studies have suggested that it is more common in females, suggesting a hormonal factor in the development of this lesion. 8,13 Recurrence of IPEH is rare and Corni et al reported that a 15% recurrence rate is noted in literature.…”

Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia: Case Report of a Recurrent Masson’s Tumor of the Finger and Review of Literature

Intravascular 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.

“…One is an intravascular endothelial cell proliferation with papillary formation, which could advance to necrosis and degeneration [5]. Alternative mechanisms include exuberant endothelial proliferation with papillary formation originating from a thrombus; blood stasis and perivascular inflammation; a pseudotumor lesion derived by a cumulative process of thrombotic materials [5,14]. With regard to associations between IPEH and thrombus, it has been proposed that the thrombotic process may have a causative role.…”

Objective: Rare disease Background: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is a vascular tumor characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells with papillary formations. It is a rare benign disease; therefore, it is important to exclude malignant vascular neoplasm in order to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate overtreatment. Case Report: Herein, we describe the case of a 51-year-old male who reported changes in his voice, and who was preoperatively diagnosed with vocal cord polyp and hemorrhagic change based on laryngoscopy. He underwent laryngomicrosurgery and the lesion was completely excised via the microflap surgical method. Histopathology analysis was consistent with IPEH. Conclusions: Herein, we report an extremely rare case of IPEH arising from the true vocal cord, and we provide a brief review of the relevant literature and a detailed discussion of this rare clinical entity.
