Abstract
Intravascular  papillary  endothelial  hyperplasia  (IPEH)  or  Masson’s  tumour  is  a benign  vascular  proliferation  that  mimics  other  malignant  vascular  tumour.  To date,  this  is  the  fourthcase  of  Masson’s  tumour  at  urethra  being  reported  in  the literature. A 65-year-old female Para 2, presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Examination  revealed  a  4x3x3  cm  growth  surrounding  the  urethral  meatus.  She underwent examination under anaesthesia and excision of the periurethral mass. Histopathological   examination   confirmed   Masson’s   tumour.   Diagnosis   and management of this uncommon tumour at a rare location was discussed.
