Background: Masson's tumor, commonly referred to as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), is an uncommon growth of endothelial cells within a vessel wall that is frequently assumed to indicate an abnormal resolution of thrombosis. IPEH is most typically found in the extremities however it is rare for IPEH to appear as a neck tumor. The issue with IPEH is that it could clinically, radiologically, and pathologically imitate some malignant neoplasms such as angiosarcomas creating a diagnostic challenge.

Interleukin (IL)-6 and P-selectin were found to be elevated in Covid-19 patients. The current study aimed to evaluate P-selectin and IL6 in Covid-19 patients with DVT and to explore its relation to clinical and laboratory parameters in those patients.

Thus, there is a great need to demonstrate a more efficient biomarker that would confirm the diagnosis of DVT. Our work aimed to evaluate the role of platelet-derived growth factor-beta (PDGF-B) as a new marker of DVT and its correlation with other radiological and laboratory tools used for the diagnosis.

During recent years, endovascular surgery has become a valid alternative to open repair. We aimed to compare early outcomes of the stent graft in the treatment of traumatic FAA and open surgical procedures.
