Cutaneous Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia – A case series

Abstract

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is rare intravascular endothelial proliferation that may mimic an angiosarcoma. They are most commonly located in veins on head and neck, fingers and trunk and usually presents as a small superficial mass. It is now considered as an exuberant form of organising thrombus. We present here a series of cases of IPEH with varied clinical presentation and clinical diagnosis which on microscopy confirmed as Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia
