Abstract

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a rare vascular neoplastic lesion in the setting of an unusual thrombus formation. Its significance is in its resemblance with angiosarcoma. It is classified into 3 types - Pure form, mixed and extravascular form. In view of its close histological similarity and subtle differences with angiosarcoma, the role of immunohistochemistry has evolved in the diagnosis of this condition in the recent past. Here we discuss one such case in the nasal cavity where the tumor was attached to the middle turbinate and how it was managed. This is probably the 6th case report worldwide of such a tumor in the nasal cavity not involving the sinuses.
