Venous aneurysms of the upper extremity--a case report.
Venous aneurysms are a rare clinical entity, especially in upper extremities. A 35-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed as having venous aneurysms in her left arm. The lesions were excised, and microscopic examination revealed a lack of smooth muscle, media, and elastic fibers in the aneurysmal wall, with partial hyperplasia of smooth muscle.
