Papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's tumor) developed in the capsule of the implant in a breast cancer patient treated with mastectomy and radiation therapy

Abstract: Papillary endothelial hyperplasia (PEH) is an uncommon benign vascular proliferation appearing in soft tissues in different body areas including the breast, which may be related to radiation therapy. A 48‐year‐old woman previously treated for breast cancer with mastectomy followed by radiation therapy and reconstruction with an implant presented with a newly developing mass in the implant capsule. Pathological diagnosis was PEH. Imaging features of this rare entity are described, and lesions included in differ… Show more

“…Two cases reported post-radiotherapy breast cancer patients with IPEH, in which the author differentiated IPEH and angiosarcomas by its clear border and non-invasive feature and macroscopic absence of atypia, necrosis, pleomorphism. 14 , 15 However, adjuvant radiotherapy may be required in intracranial Masson’s tumor to prevent recurrence or to treat patients whose lesion cannot achieve radical excision. 16–18 The patient in our case has undergone 25 courses of radiotherapy including 2 brachytherapy, which might be the predisposing cause of IPEH.…”

“…Since its original description as a hemorrhoidal vein tumor, intravascular papillary hemangioendothelioma (IVPH) has been established as a benign lesion. It has been reported to be found in the nasal cavity, breast, neck, and hand [1][2][3][4][5]. A rare extravascular manifestation of IVPH can be found in the central nervous system, where it can cause mass effect, increased intracranial pressure, compress adjacent tissues, and cause spinal cord compression [2,[6][7][8][9].…”
