Abstract
The Masson tumor is a rare intracranial lesion and only 21 cases have been reported to date in the international literature. This pathological entity, called also intravascular papillary hyperplasia, must be considered when evaluating an intracranial mass, especially in dealing with young patients. We report the first case in a very elderly male patient where this lesion, presented with the appearance of a single intraparenchymal mass. The operation was curative. We present the clinical features of this entity and performed a literature review.
