Typical MDCT Angiography Findings of an Unusual Cutaneous Neoplasia; Masson Tumor

BACKGROUND Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as masson tumour, is a lesion composed of proliferating endothelial cells. CASE REPORT In this article we explained clinical, histological and radiological features of IPEH involving the scalp, localized on the left side of the skull and in the periauricular region. CONCLUSIONS Radiologically, intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia could be misdiagnosed as malignant or benign vascular tumour. On cross-sectional imaging it is useful demonstrating the extremely vascular component of IPEH. But IPEH has no specific radiologic features that we can use to differentiate from the aforementioned lesions. Due to that, histopathological examinations are needed to diagnose IPEH.
