Abstract

ABSTRACT: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a benign vascular lesion, typically found in the skin, consisting of a papillary proliferation of endothelial cells intimately related to a thrombus; it appears to be a rare variant of an organizing process. IPEH very rarely develops in the periocular region, with fewer than 20 such cases currently reported in the English language literature. We describe one of the largest ever case series of this uncommon lesion occurring in the periocular region and discuss its clinical features, imaging characteristics, and surgical management.
