Abstract
Masson’s tumor is a rare, benign, vascular lesion, commonly affecting the head, neck and peripheries. It is usually asymptomatic and can be confused with malignant tumors. We report a 56-year-old male who presented with a solitary swelling in the right side of neck which was clinically diagnosed as a benign cystic lesion, hence complete excision of the lesion was done. Histopathology demonstrated the papillary proliferation of endothelial cells, in favour of Masson’s tumor.
Highlights
Vascular lesion characterised by papillary fronds lined by proliferating endothelium
In-view of its location, adjacent to major vascular structure a MRI scan was done. It was reported as a well-defined hyper intense lesion with hypo intense rim showing diffusion restriction, which was restricted to the subcutaneous plane [Fig. 1 & 2]
Intravascular papillary endothelium hyperplasia was first described by Pierre Masson and called it as “Hemangioendotheliomegetant” [5]
