Abstract:
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) also known as Masson's hemangioma is a rare benign reactive vascular lesion of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is usually confined to the lumen of preexisting vessels/vascular malformations. It is characterized histologically by papillary fronds lined by proliferating endothelial cells. This lesion is often misinterpreted as soft-tissue tumors and other benign and malignant lesions. We present a case of 13-year-old female with IPEH of scalp causing bony defect because of its rarity and diagnostic challenge, it posed due to nonspecific clinical and radiological findings.

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...
