Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia: a case report.
A case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia occurring in a thirty-nine-year-old woman is described. Examination of an excisional biopsy specimen showed typical changes of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Dermatologists should be aware of this benign vascular disorder, since it resembles a low-grade angiosarcoma.
