Abstract

JIMENEZ-TEJEDA, Nayely L. et al. Rare femoral common vein aneurysm in a young patient with a clinical presentation of recurrent inguinal hernia. Rev. mex. angiol. [online]. 2024, vol.52, n.1, pp.31-34.  Epub Apr 16, 2024. ISSN 2696-130X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rma.23000038.

Aneurysms are abnormal vessel dilatations that usually occur in the arterial system. The presence of these in the veins is very uncommon, finding only a few reports in the literature. They can be classified into two types: primary and secondary. Clinical presentation in most cases is with thrombosis in situ. A case of 23-year-old man with an 8-month history of a growing mass in the left groin with a history of bilateral hernioplasty, mastectomy due to gynecomastia, and several esthetic procedures, has a history of repetitive trauma from bodybuilding. The patient was attended for pain, finding an image suggesting the presence of a fusiform aneurysm in the proximal third of the left common femoral vein measured 3 × 3 cm in diameter. The patient was taken to the operating room to perform the aneurysmectomy.
