RESUMEN
Objetivo: Dar a conocer una rara presentación de una patología frecuente. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 27 años de edad con clínica de apendicitis aguda con antecedentes de haberse realizado 9 años atrás una apendicectomía, encontrándose un apéndice inflamado, en posición retrocecal, ascendente y subseroso. En la segunda apendicectomía se encontró un nuevo apéndice sano en la unión de las 3 tenias. El estudio histológico posterior confirmó que ambas piezas quirúrgicas eran apéndices, uno inflamado y el otro normal.

Cystic degeneration of the popliteal artery is an uncommon cause of intermittent claudication. We report a 52 years old male consulting for intermittent claudication referred to the calf. The angiography showed a 93% stenosis in segment of 45 mm length of the left popliteal artery with a smooth surface, suggesting an extrinsic compression. A CT angiography of the lower limb suggested the presence of a cystic degeneration. The patient was operated and the middle third of the popliteal artery was excised. The pathological study of the surgical piece was informed as artery media cystic degeneration.
