Venous aneurysm of upper extremities is rare entity. We report a rare case of large cephalic vein (CV) aneurysm in a 41-year-old man who presented as slowly growing painless swelling at distal forearm along the lateral aspect. Duplex ultrasound showed aneurysm originating from the anterior wall of the CV with venous waveform pattern on Doppler. It was managed successfully with percutaneous sclerotherapy.

“…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).…”

Primary Venous Aneurysms of the Superficial Venous System

et al. 2008

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.

“…Reported histology has varied from the presence of an anomalous muscular layer to a diminution of muscle and elastin fibres [10,11]. It is not always possible to be certain whether a venous aneurysm is truly a primary phenomenon or results from a previous but long-forgotten minor trauma.…”
