Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cartilaginous metaplasia of superficial veins was found in a 64-year-old woman who underwent surgery for varicose veins. At operation, some varicose veins of the medial thigh were semi-rigid and fibroelastic to the touch. Histology revealed that half the lumen was occupied by chondroid tissue. The other half was obliterated by fibrous tissue, typical of post-thrombotic involution. Possible causes of cartilaginous metaplasia are briefly discussed. |
