Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (Masson’s Tumor) of Wrist
Keywords:
Vascular tumor, Masson’s tumor, Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, wrist
Abstract
Nonspecific slow growing lesions of hand and wrist can be difficult to diagnose. We present a case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), or Masson’s tumor of the wrist. Present case is a 23-year-old female presented with a vague, soft, mobile and mildly tender swelling over the ventral aspect of the right wrist. The present case highlights the importance of excision and histopathological examination along immunohistochemistry in these lesions.References
