Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, or Masson's tumour, is a benign lesion of the subcutaneous tissue and skin, characterised by a reactive proliferation of endothelial cells within a vessel.

- Increased access and decriminalization of cannabis has led to more reported cases of IgE-dependent cannabis allergy (CA) and related food allergies, but the true prevalence is likely underestimated due to a lack of awareness among healthcare professionals.
- The main symptoms of CA include rhinoconjunctivitis and contact urticaria, but it can also lead to life-threatening reactions, with many patients showing cross-reactivity to various fruits, vegetables, nuts, and cereals.
- Research has identified key allergenic components of Cannabis sativa, but diagnostic testing usually relies on crude allergen extracts, highlighting the need for better understanding and development of personalized diagnosis and management strategies for cannabis-related allergies.
