“…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.…”

“…Review of the literature shows that it occurs on the extremities or neck. 3,5,6,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Among the 33 cases, the most commonly involved site was upper extremities (15 cases), followed by the neck (9 cases) and lower extremities (9 cases). In the upper extremities, it was located on the antecubital fossa (5 cases).…”

“…Large aneurysm rarely compresses the adjacent nerve. 8 Both Katsoulis et al 17 and Christenson 19 noted that all VAs may not exhibit benign behavior. However, life-threatening complications, such as rupture, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism, may occur only when involved in deep-vein system but not in primary VA of superficial venous system.…”

Primary Venous Aneurysms of the Superficial Venous System

Venous aneurysm can be classified into superficial or deep and secondary or primary. The aim of this study was to introduce primary venous aneurysm of the superficial venous system and to report the experiences treating it with sclerotherapy. A retrospective study with 120 cases of venous dilatation detects 4 patients. The clinical features, histopathology, and radiological findings were investigated. In 2 patients, sclerotherapy was performed. The patients had an asymptomatic, soft subcutaneous mass on the extremities or neck for 5.2 years on an average. Color duplex scanning showed a well-defined anechoic cystic structure with no arterial flow. Histopathologically, normal vein wall with varying degrees of thinning was observed. The patients who underwent sclerotherapy were treated successfully with no recurrence. Primary venous aneurysm of the superficial venous system should be included in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous mass. In addition, it may be simply and effectively treated with sclerotherapy.

“…Only a limited number of cases with venous aneurysms in the upper extremity have been reported (1-4,7). Katsoulis et al (8) reported a 71-year-old woman with a primary aneurysm of the basilic vein. De Waele et al (9) reported a large venous aneurysm in the upper extremity of a 71-year-old man who had presented with acute thrombosis of the aneurysm, which could only have been diagnosed during surgery.…”
