title: [Cystic adventitial disease (histopathological contribution of a case in the ilio-femoral region)].
abstract: Cystic adventitial disease is a rare vascular pathology mostly affecting the popliteal artery in disease is a rare vascular pathology mostly affecting the popliteal artery in men. An unusual case, located in the ilio-femoral region of a young woman, is reported. The authors claim that the cystic adventitial formations are similar to the ganglia that originate from tendon-sheaths, as structure, configuration and, probably, histogenesis are concerned. Moreover the authors suggest that cystic adventitial disease can be located among "histogenic dystrophic arteriopathies" in the pathokinetic classification of angiopathies.
