Abstract :
Also known as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, Masson’s tumor is a relatively rare
soft‐tissue vascular tumor that usually arises in the hand. Felon is an abscess formation in the distal
phalanx that usually occurs following a penetrating microtrauma. We present a 30‐year‐old patient
who was referred to our clinic with a palpable mass in the distal phalanx of the index finger after a
needle stick injury. At first, the lesion was treated as a felon but finally and after treatment failure, a
complete reevaluation revealed the lesion to be a Masson’s tumor of the distal phalanx.
