Abstract

Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (IPEH) also known as Masson’s Tumor was first described in 1923 by French pathologist Dr. Claude L. Pierre Masson. It’s a reactive vascular proliferation secondary to traumatic vascular stasis which unleashes the activation of FGF of the macrophages invading the site of trauma with proliferation of endothelial cells. The importance of Masson’s tumor, of a benign nature, is the striking similarity it has with the angiosarcoma. This tumor represent 2% of all the vascular tumor, more frequently seen in the skin of fingers and blood vessels. Its presentation in the paranasal sinus is extremely rare, with only 10 published cases in medical literature. The present case is of a 41 year old female with paresthesia of the left side of the face and periorbital edema: treated with steroids and antibiotic without improvement. Physical exploration with left palpebral ptosis, diplopia and diminishes visual acuity. Endoscopic visualization of the nose with a submucosal purplish mass protruding of the left medium meatus expanding lateral nasal wall. CT enhanced imaging reveals a heterogeneous mass in the left maxillary sinus with an erosive expansion of the lateral nasal wall and orbit floor. Biopsy of the specimen is taken, which is diagnosed as IPEH. The tumor is resected entirely via a Denker endoscopic medial maxillectomy.
