Cystic myxomatous degeneration of the femoral vein.
We present a case of cystic myxomatous degeneration of the femoral vein. The features are similar to those found in the equivalent disease of arteries. It is suggested that it may occur in veins as an unusual and rare late sequel of venous thrombosis and recanalisation. A search of the literature has revealed only one previously reported case.
