Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) of the veins is a rare phenomenon, and ACD of the femoral vein is particularly difficult to diagnose due to the similarity in symptoms to those of deep vein thrombosis. We report a case of ACD of the femoral vein, which was initially misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis, in a 48-year-old woman who presented with a painless swelling in her right lower leg. The extensive cystic involvement of the femoral vein was completely resected and reconstructed with an 8-mm ringed polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft with good results. |
