Primary lesser saphenous vein aneurysm in a child.
True primary venous aneurysms are rare. This is the first report of such an aneurysm involving the lesser saphenous vein. Though most often a medical curiosity, such lesions can result in serious morbidity and even mortality. Because of their rarity they are often misdiagnosed. Salient features pertaining to classification, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed.
