Aorta (Stamford). 2019 Apr;7(2):59-62. doi: 10.1055/s-0039-1688925. Epub 2019 Sep 17.

Abstract

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia or Masson's tumor is a rare reactive disease of vascular origin characterized by exuberant proliferation of endothelial cells. Its importance lies in its ability to mimic a variety of diseases, both benign and malignant. Here, we present a unique case of Masson's tumor arising from the abdominal supraceliac aorta in a 32-year-old man initially misdiagnosed as leaking aortic pseudoaneurysm.
