Venous aneurysm of the dorsal venous arch.
Clinically, a venous aneurysm is seen as a nonpulsatile mass with shrinkage upon elevation and enlargement with dependency. Confirmation of the diagnosis is best made by venography. In the case presented here of a rare aneurysm of the dorsal venous arch, the diagnosis of venous aneurysm was based on the histopathologic and intraoperative findings. If a venous aneurysm is symptomatic, it should be excised, with ligation of all feeder veins. In all cases, accurate preoperative diagnosis and evaluation allows for appropriate surgical planning.
