Adventitial cystic disease or degeneration of the blood vessel wall is an unusual form of peripheral vascular disease that occurs almost exclusively in the popliteal artery and accounts for an estimated one in 1200 cases of claudication. The cause of adventitial cystic disease is unknown, but it has been attributed to repeated trauma, an ectopic ganglion, or primary dysplasia of the vascular connective tissue. We describe an unusual case of adventitial cystic disease of the lesser saphenous vein located adjacent to the ankle joint. Only a handful of cases of venous adventitial cystic disease have been reported in the English literature, and, to our knowledge, none involved the lesser saphenous vein.
血管外膜囊肿性疾病或血管壁退变是一种罕见的周围血管疾病形式，几乎仅发生于腘动脉，约占跛行病例的1/1200。血管外膜囊肿性疾病的病因不明，但被认为与反复创伤、异位神经节或血管结缔组织的原发性发育异常有关。我们描述了1例位于踝关节附近的小隐静脉血管外膜囊肿性疾病的罕见病例。英文文献中仅报道过少数几例静脉血管外膜囊肿性疾病病例，据我们所知，尚无累及小隐静脉的病例。
