Adventitial cystic disease of the femoral vein.
Adventitial cystic disease of the blood vessel wall is a rare disease. It occurs most commonly in arteries and very rarely in veins (Levien and Benn, J. Vasc. Surg. 1998;28:193-205). We report the case of a 28-year-old man with severe adventitial cystic disease of the femoral vein who underwent a resection of the cystic wall.
