“…In our case, the aneurysm starts to grow during pregnancy, a specific feature of vascular malformations. Burnley et al [ 8 ] also reported the case of a dissecting superficial venous aneurysm in the branch of small saphenous vein that appeared during the third trimester of pregnancy. The authors believe that haemodynamic changes characteristic for pregnancy, increased blood volume and cardiac output, can be responsible for focal venous dilatation.…”

The primary superficial venous aneurysms of the foot are very rare. A 34-year-old female patient developed a dorsal foot mass during the second trimester of pregnancy with no history of previous trauma, puncture, or infection. One year later, she was referred to the surgical department for excision of “foot hygroma.” Based on the clinical findings, the venous aneurysm was suspected and duplex ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of the aneurysm of the medial marginal vein of the foot. Excision of aneurysm with bipolar ligation of marginal vein was performed under local anesthesia. The postoperative evolution was uneventful. The authors hope that the presented case report will increase the awareness of general practitioners, dermatologists, and surgeons regarding the superficial venous aneurysms of lower limbs.

“…Some studies suggest a relationship between elevated estrogen levels and venous aneurysms, which can explain the increased formation of venous aneurysm during pregnancy and the presence of estrogen receptors in venous tissue, but direct correlation has never been established. [17][18][19][20] Complications such as spontaneous rupture, thrombophlebitis, thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism are rare. [5][6][7][8] When thromboses occur, they are more frequent in adults than in pediatric patients (17% vs 1.5%, respectively).…”

Internal jugular venous aneurysm (IJVA) is a rare entity that usually remains asymptomatic with only rare complications. We report two cases of IJVA. Both patients presented with a palpable soft tissue mass in the neck and were found to have IJVA on imaging with associated lymphadenopathy. In both cases, the aneurysms and involved lymph nodes were resected, with the jugular vein being primarily reconstructed. There are only a few case reports involving IJVA, and treatment guidelines are not well established. Whereas nonoperative management is frequently chosen, the most common indication for surgery is cosmetic; both management options have favorable outcomes.

“…To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of a dissecting aneurysm, following the first case occurring as a popliteal mass early in the course of pregnancy in a 32-year-old woman. 2 Despite that, venous dissecting aneurysm, presenting as brachial nodules covered by pigmented skin, has not been described elsewhere. That is a potentially new clinicopathological variant of venous aneurysm, displaying a localized and abnormally dilated venous lumen coexisted with an intimal tear extending into the medial wall, accompanied characteristically by the close connection with the blood-filled vascular channels.…”

We presented an extremely rare case of a 38-year-old female’s venous aneurysm of left cephalic vein with unique histopathological features, displaying variably thinned medial wall with focal, markedly reduced or absent smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers, most likely leading to the venous dissection with an intimal tear and many medial blood-filled vascular channels. We propose that those venous dissection-like findings would be a new feature especially from the clinicopathological viewpoints and might be considered in the classification of venous aneurysm. Further prospective studies are needed to validate the presence and significance of venous dissecting aneurysm as a new histopathological entity, after collecting and investigating a larger number of venous aneurysm cases examined. This short report could interest the scientific community, taken together with potentially specific findings of new entity, venous dissecting aneurysm.
