ABSTRACT
A 68-year-old man suffered a pain in his right groin and was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis at a previous medical clinic, two months earlier. He was referred to our hospital to treat deep vein thrombosis. However, adventitial cystic disease of the femoral vein was suspected from findings of preoperative contrast CT and ultrasonography. Under general anesthesia, the operation was performed. The venous wall was resected including an adventitial cyst, which was followed by the venous reconstruction using an autologous vein patch. Anticoagulant therapy was continued after the operation for one year. He was followed for 18 months after the surgery without a recurrence of the adventitial cystic disease. Venous adventitial cystic disease is extremely rare and may be misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis. Careful follow-up is mandatory, because the postoperative recurrence rate is reported to be substantially high.
