Four cases of Masson's disease affecting the finger were presented, highlighting that complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice and pathological examination is required for diagnosis.
Case Report (n=4)
Highlights the clinical and pathological features of Masson's tumor in the finger to aid in distinguishing it from malignant vascular lesions.
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as Masson's tumour, is an uncommon benign vascular lesion characterized by small multiple, endothelial-lined, papillary structures with hyaline stalks. It appears to be a reactive condition involving excessive proliferation of endothelial cells in normal blood vessels or in vascular malformations, perhaps in response to blood vessel injury or thrombosis. The lesions are small, superficial, reddish-blue nodules, usually in the head, neck or hand. Distinction from pyogenic granuloma and angiosarcoma usually requires pathological examination. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Four cases affecting the finger are presented together with histological features.

Sartore et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Masson's disease (Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia) (n=4). Complete surgical excision was evaluated on Clinical and histological features. Four cases of Masson's disease affecting the finger were presented, highlighting that complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice and pathological examination is required for diagnosis.
