Cephalic Vein Aneurysm in the Distal Forearm Managed with Sclerotherapy—A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Venous aneurysm of upper extremities is rare entity. We report a rare case of large cephalic vein (CV) aneurysm in a 41-year-old man who presented as slowly growing painless swelling at distal forearm along the lateral aspect. Duplex ultrasound showed aneurysm originating from the anterior wall of the CV with venous waveform pattern on Doppler. It was managed successfully with percutaneous sclerotherapy.
