Venous Aneurysm in Superficial Venous Palmar Arch: A Case Report

Abstract

Venous aneurysms in the upper limbs are a rare disease and are often misdiagnosed as benign tumors of soft tissues. Conservative treatment is considered in the absence of symptoms caused by venous aneurysms. However, if symptoms are present, surgical resection or vascular ligation of venous aneurysm may be necessary. A 56-year-old woman with no specific medical history and traumatic history of hand developed tenderness and radiation pain due to the palmar mass of her left hand and was diagnosed as venous aneurysm. After resection and ligation of venous aneurysm, patient's symptoms disappeared and there was no recurrence. Careful examination of the mass causing the symptom is necessary and the possibility of venous aneurysm should be considered.
