tumor as humeral artery aneurysm.Ann

Intravascular
papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's vegetant
hemangioendothelioma) is a rare condition affecting the arteries. In
the literature, we did not find any reference to this lesion involving
the humeral artery. We present a case of asymptomatic humeral artery
vascular tumor due to this abnormality. A 58-year-old woman was
admitted to our hospital with an asymptomatic pulsatile humeral artery
mass. Echography revealed an increase in size in the last year. The
tumor was removed, and the vascular segment was replaced by a segment
of inverted cephalic vein. The findings of the pathological
examination were compatible with intravascular papillary endothelial
hyperplasia. At follow-up examination 5 months after the operation,
the patient had no tumor, remained asymptomatic, and had preserved
upper limb artery patency. This rare vascular lesion may be clinically
and histopathologically mistaken for a malignant tumor. As the Masson
tumor can be cured by complete surgical resection, it is important to
get a correct diagnosis.

We describe a
case of recurrent intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia
involving the middle finger which was successfully-treated with photon
and proton radiotherapy following two previous surgical excisions. |
