Abstract

Abstract: Lower extremity superficial venous aneurysms are occasionally encountered by clinicians and are almost always located above the knee. Very few cases of aneurysm of the medial marginal vein in the most distal part, near the origin of the great saphenous vein, have been reported. We present a case of partially thrombosed aneurysm of the medial marginal vein, and briefly review the imaging characteristics and treatment options of this entity. Being aware of the existence of superficial venous aneurysms may help clinicians in their differential diagnosis of foot masses and choice of appropriate treatment.
