“…1) It can occur with any type of prosthesis, although it occurs more with Dacron and ePTFE grafts, positioned with extra-anatomic course and in the lower limbs. 2,3) Pathogenetic factors, real incidence and therapeutic choices are not yet clarified. The appearance may also occur after years from surgery.…”

Perigraft seroma is a rare complication occurs after placement of any vascular graft. It is defined as the collection of a sterile, clear and acellular liquid around prosthesis. It can appear years after surgery as a soft, palpable and painless mass. We present a perigraft seroma occurred in a 75-years-patient underwent Dacron right axillo-bifemoral bypass for Leriche's syndrome. Ultrasound and computed tomography scan revealed involvement of graft left branch and bifurcation. Although several treatment options have been proposed, removal and replacement of prosthetic affected tract with another of a different material has been proved the choice with best result.

“…Some authors claim an active role of fibroblasts in the process of periprosthetic region remodelling. 3,5) Since often asymptomatic, in most cases the patient arrives when the seroma has reached large dimensions. Diagnosis is based on CDUS, which assesses graft patency and collection size.…”

“…There have been several recent case reports of endovascular graft replacement of abdominal aortic aneurysms in which the sac was enlarged and/or ruptured with no endoleak, especially when a PTFE graft has been used. 3,5) This phenomenon is termed endotension, which may be similar to the formation of a perigraft seroma following conventional abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. A : CT showed a low-density area around the left iliac graft, which was measured 17 cm in the maximal transverse diameter.…”

“…The perigraft reaction can arise anytime after prosthesis implantation (a few days to months). Histologically it has the structure of a chronic seroma [72][73][74] . In patients with renal end-stage disease the perigraft reaction incidence is higher 66 .…”
