Abstract

Adventitial cyst is a rare vascular disease frequently localized in the popliteal artery rarely in a vein. We report a case discovering in a 47-year-old man. As described, this lesion is characterized by an extrinsic compression of the vessel lumen by an adventitial myxoid nodule on histology. Recognition of this entity is important to ensure proper treatment.
