Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a rare
benign proliferation of intravascular endothelial cells. However
IPEH can be easily mistaken for an angiosarcoma, thus differential
diagnosis is very important to avoid over-treatment. We report the
case of a 22-year-old man who had small lobulating mass in
nasopharynx. Computed tomography (CT) showed about 4 cm homogenous
mass in nasopharynx without extension to soft tissue. Complete
surgical excision was done and biopsy during operation showed
distended vessels and numerous papillae consist of endothelial
cells lining a hyaline core. At follow up, no other complications
were observed. Thus we present the case and a review of the
literature. |
