“…Basilic vein haemangiomas are very rare and usually, the diagnosis is based on histopathology and radiology as in our case. [1][2][3][4] The dilemma lies in distinguishing between venous malformations, venous aneurysm and venous haemangioma as the aetiopathogenesis and management is different for each condition. Most often the terms are interchangeably used and can be often misleading.…”

“…1 A primary venous aneurysm of the superficial system is a rare and unfamiliar clinical entity. 1,3 It can be easily misdiagnosed as varicose veins, hemangiomas, 5 lymphocele, inguinal hernia, 4 hygroma, arteriovenous fistulas, subcutaneous softtissue tumors, venous malformations and similar subcutaneous swellings located in subcutaneous venous spaces. 3 Sessa et al classified venous aneurysms as saccular (72%) and fusiform (28%) based on the shape of the aneurysm; the saccular type was more common and was found to be more prone to intraluminal thrombi (40%) than fusiform aneurysms (14%).…”

“…The treatment proposed by the authors is surgical, both in the superficial and in the deep aneurysms of the upper limbs. 1,3,5 The Laplace law applied to blood vessels explains the capillary vessel function to withstand relatively high pressures and the dilatation of the large venous vessels. In the upright position, there is an increased pressure below the plane of hydrostatic indifference (the heart), which ''weighs'' down in the lower limb blood vessels.…”

To treat or not to treat basilic vein aneurysms? A clinical dilemma

Superficial venous aneurysms are a very uncommon disease probably associated with thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary thromboembolisms. Surgical treatment is safe and is performed in symptomatic cases. Surgical repair of superficial venous aneurysms is a recommended treatment, and no postoperative complications usually occur. The aim of this study is to report our experience treating superficial venous aneurysms, because they can cause devastating consequences. Obviously, they should be surgically treated if they are symptomatic, but there exists the possibility of complications such as thromboembolic events; however, they are unpredictable. Thus, the only solution to remove the potential risk of developing pulmonary or other embolic events is prophylactic surgery and anticoagulant therapy, also in low-risk patients.

“…3,6 For superficial VA from a basilic vein, a literature search found few cases being reported, among which most were located at the proximal forearm. [7][8][9] In this report, we present a case of primary superficial VA from the basilic vein, which is located at the distal forearm.…”

Venous aneurysm (VA) is an uncommon solitary focal dilation of a vein. Primary superficial VA, which may be associated with congenital weakness of the vein wall, is rare. In this case study, an extremely rare primary superficial VA from the basilic vein in the distal forearm is reported. The patient presented with a painless soft mass in the ulnar aspect of the distal forearm without any history of trauma, inflammation, or systematic disease. The mass was prominent with the arm in dependence and diminished with the arm elevated. Ultrasound scanning revealed a saccular dilation of the vein coursed along the path of the basilic vein. Pulsed-wave Doppler confirmed the venous origin. No thrombus was found inside the VA. The patient was recommended to observe the change with no need for surgery at the time by the vascular surgeon.
