Abstract:
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a relatively rare benign tumor, which is charaterized by the development of endothelial-lined papillary projections in a vascular lumen. They can occur as a pure form in which endothelial proliferation developes in a dilated vessel, a mixed form in which endothelial proliferation occurs within a pre-existing angioma. We herein report a case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia coexistent with angioleiomyoma occuring in a 54-year-old man, who had a slowly growing tumor on the right sole for 2 years. The histologic findings revealed a solitary encapsulated mass composed of smooth muscles and blood vessels in deep dermis and papillary endothelial hyperplasia in a neighboring blood vessel.
