Cystic adventitial degeneration is an uncommon vascular condition with a peculiar predilection for the popliteal artery. This disease most commonly affects young men and presents as rapidly progressive calf claudication. We report a case of a 80 years old man. The condition remains one of unknown etiology but our observation support that adventitial cysts are true ganglions which originate from adjacent joint capsule.
囊性外膜退变是一种罕见的血管疾病，对腘动脉有特殊的偏好。这种疾病最常影响年轻男性，表现为快速进展的小腿间歇性跛行。我们报告一例80岁男性病例。该病病因仍不明，但我们的观察支持外膜囊肿是起源于相邻关节囊的真正腱鞘囊肿。
