  • Title: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's hemangioma) of the liver: a new hepatic lesion.
    Author: Hong SG, Cho HM, Chin HM, Park IY, Yoo JY, Hwang SS, Kim JG, Park WB, Chun CS.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2004 Apr; 19(2):305-8. PubMed ID: 15082910.
    Abstract:
    Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's hemangioma) is a disease characterized by exuberant endothelial proliferation within the lumen of medium-sized veins. In 1923, Masson regarded this disease as a neoplasm inducing endothelial proliferation, however, now it is considered to be a reactive vascular proliferation following traumatic vascular stasis. The lesion has a propensity to occur in the head, neck, fingers, and trunk. Occurrence within the abdominal cavity is known to be very rare, and especially in the liver, there has been no reported case up to date. The authors have experienced intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the liver in a 69-yr-old woman, and report the case with a review of the literature.
