Abstract:
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH)/Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma is a rare (orphan) disease of the forefoot that has not yet been described in Europe. The pathoanatomic examination of a young patient with a vague interdigital space-consuming lesion revealed a intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia/Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma. The intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia can be mainly detected in the upper limbs as well as cervically. Heretofore, the intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia has only been described in Japan and the USA. For Europe, our case report is the first description of the clinical course of IPEH.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
