Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as Masson's tumor, is a rare nonneoplastic vascular lesion caused by the abnormal proliferation of endothelial cells. Clinically and radiologically, IPEH presents as a soft tissue mass that may simulate and be mistaken for a sarcomatous tumor. There have been reports of this entity involving the skin or subcutaneous tissues in normal blood vessels and vascular malformations. Herein, we present the first reported case of Masson's tumor arising from an arteriovenous hemodialysis fistula. We emphasize the imaging features of this lesion and briefly discuss its pathophysiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
