A 34-year-old woman developed recurrent intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia at the site of a previously excised pyogenic granuloma, highlighting the need for careful histological differentiation.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of clinical and histological differentiation of IPEH from low-grade angiosarcoma to avoid overtreatment.
Recurrent vascular lesions after excision warrant histological vigilance to avoid overtreatment; this Level 5 case leaves open questions on true incidence and optimal follow-up.
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a rare benign vascular tumour. Many histological features are similar to those of low-grade angiosarcoma, a common, but more serious condition. Clinical and histological differentiation is important to avoid overtreatment of this benign condition. We report on a 34-year-old woman who developed recurrent IPEH at the site of a previously excised pyogenic granuloma.

İnalöz et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) (n=1). Previous excision of pyogenic granuloma was evaluated on Development of recurrent intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. A 34-year-old woman developed recurrent intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia at the site of a previously excised pyogenic granuloma, highlighting the need for careful histological differentiation.
