title: Iatrogenic venous pseudoaneurysm following venipuncture: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We report the case of a venous pseudoaneurysm that developed after a venipuncture made during a blood donation in an otherwise healthy 43-year-old man. The patient presented 3 years later with a mass in the antecubital fossa that was successfully treated with surgical resection. The clinical features of this exceptionally rare lesion are discussed.
