Abstract
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is a benign tumor that rarely presents in the orbit and ocular adnexa. Generally, it occurs as an isolated eyelid mass, not associated with systemic or local dise ase. Histopathologically, it can be easily confused with angiosarcoma or Kimura's disease. We present our experience with four cases of this tumor in the ocular adnexa, along with a literature review.
