- Abstract
We report a rare case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) of the cheek. This neoplasm, known as Masson’s tumor, is an unusual vascular lesion of proliferating endothelial cells. It is usually confined to the lumen of preexisting vessels or vascular malformations. The principal significance of IPEH is its resemblance to a variety of benign and malignant diseases and possible misdiagnosis as such. Achieving a correct diagnosis is essential to avoid subjecting a patient to either unnecessarily aggressive or inadequate therapy. For this reason, awareness of this lesion is very important.
