Abstract
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a benign vascular lesion. Its importance
lies in the differential diagnosis of malignant vascular neoplasms, such as angiosarcoma,
to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatment. We present a case report on this type of
tumor at the dorsal region of the foot to describe the pathogenic and histologic features
of this lesion.
