Perigraft seroma is a rare complication of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts especially in the lower limb. It is often difficult to treat and recurrence is common. We present a case of a young woman who sustained a persistent perigraft seroma following a polytetrafluoroethylene graft in the proximal thigh, which was implanted as an alternative to an arteriovenous fistula. The cause was not ascertained and this was eventually treated by complete removal of the graft. This case highlights an unusual complication of polytetrafluoroethylene grafts that are commonly used in vascular access surgery, which can be challenging to treat.
移植血管周围血清肿是聚四氟乙烯移植物的一种罕见并发症，尤其是在下肢。它通常难以治疗且复发很常见。我们报告一例年轻女性病例，该患者在大腿近端植入聚四氟乙烯移植物后出现持续性移植血管周围血清肿，该移植物是作为动静脉内瘘的替代物植入的。病因未明确，最终通过完全移除移植物进行治疗。该病例突出了血管通路手术中常用的聚四氟乙烯移植物的一种不寻常并发症，这种并发症治疗起来可能具有挑战性。
