Abstract
- Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), so called Masson's hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion thought to represent a primary process with a subsequent thrombus formation or an unusual manifestation of a thrombus. The important histologic features for IPEH are endothelial proliferation and papillary projections. IPEH should be distinguished from malignant angiosarcoma due to microscopic similarity. We report on a case of IPEH from inferior turbinate appearing in a 56-year-old woman who presented with unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first case reported of IPEH in a vascular lesion that originated from the inferior turbinate.
