title: Imaging characteristics of cystic adventitial disease of the peripheral arteries: presentation as soft-tissue masses.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our purpose was to identify the characteristic imaging features of cystic adventitial disease of the peripheral arteries.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients with cystic adventitial disease of the peripheral arteries often present for evaluation of soft-tissue masses involving the extremities. Noninvasive imaging reveals a characteristic appearance allowing confident diagnosis.
