title: [Cystic disease of right popliteal artery with spontaneous resolution].
abstract: The case was 50-year-old man. He was admitted to our hospital suffering from intermittent claudication. DSA and CT showed stenosis of the right popliteal artery due to compression by the tumor like lesion. The adventitial cystic disease was suggested. Three weeks later he had no symptom. DSA and CT revealed no reappearance of the adventitial cystic disease. The popliteal adventitial cyst spontaneously decreased in size. It is a very rare case.
