[Intravascular endothelial papillary hyperplasia in the masseter muscle]. / Hyperplasie intravasculaire endothéliale papillaire dans le muscle masséter.

Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia (IVPEH) is a benign process, even uncommon. It was first described by Masson in 1923 under the name "Hemangioendotheliom vegetant intravascular". We present a case of IVPEH located in the masseter muscle. The treatment for this lesion was surgical excision. The histological examination is very important in order to separate this lesion from angiosarcoma.
