We report on the rare case of a 50-year-old male with intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEP) in the left toes. The patient noticed a small tender mass in the left toes and underwent surgery in November 1997. The tumor recurred twice after surgery. Histopathological examination revealed a pure form of IPEP without underlying benign vascular lesions.
