title: Is Masson's tumour only a slow-growing benign neoplasm? A case report.
abstract: Masson's tumour is a rare benign neoplasm of vascular origin characterized histologically by papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Unlike previous scientific articles we report a case of a "rapid growing" lesion in a 73-year-old man underlining the clinical features to distinguish this uncommon lesion from other neoplasms of vascular origin.
