| 摘要 |
We report a 62-year-old female who underwent a laparoscopic repair for a mass
initially diagnosed as "femoral hernia" at a local hospital. However, the inguinal mass persisted after the operation. Multidetector computed tomography revealed a great saphenous venous aneurysm. A tangential aneurysmectomy was performed smoothly. As there is a potential risk of lethal pulmonary embolism related to venous aneurysms, differential diagnosis between inguinal-femoral hernia and great saphenous venous aneurysm is important. We have also reviewed the literature with regard to venous aneurysms and their origin, diagnosis, histologic appearance, and proper management. |
