Saphena Varix: A Case Report

Abstract

Saphena varix is a rare condition characterized by isolated distention of the saphenous vein immediately below the sapheno-femoral junction. The clinical significance of saphena varix lies in its differentiation from other conditions that cause a groin mass. A case of saphena varix is presented and methods for differentiating this unusual condition from other causes of groin masses are discussed.
