Saccular Aneurysm of the External Jugular Vein: An Unusual Cause of a Neck Mass

Abstract: Venous aneurysms are rare cause of neck masses. Among neck veins, external jugular vein aneurysms are incredibly uncommon. We, herein, report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a non-tender, non-pulsatile, progressively enlarging mass in the left supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination showed a saccular dilatation of the external jugular vein. Saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein are uncommon, and serious complications are rarely encountered. Ultrasonography… Show more

“…The clinical presentation of an external jugular vein aneurysm is usually a painless cervical swelling that may gradually increase in size. In the presence of a unilateral, non-tender and non-pulsatile swelling that enlarges with straining, sneezing or valsalva maneuver, one should be suspicious of a venous aneurysm [ 6 ]. Differential diagnosis for such lesion includes lymph node, laryngocele, thyroid lesion, lipoma, thyroglossal cysts, branchial cyst, cavernous hemangioma, pharyngeal pouch and arterial aneurysm.…”

“…Los aneurismas venosos cervicales son infrecuentes debido a la baja presión venosa de la vena cava superior y pueden situarse en distintas regiones del cuello. Por orden de frecuencia se presentan en: la VYI, la VYE y, por último, en la vena yugular anterior 1,[5][6][7][8] . Se han empleado numerosos términos para describirlo: varicocele, ectasia venosa, quiste venoso, aneurisma venoso y variz aneurismática.…”
