Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by abnormal growth that involves tissues of mesodermal and neuroectodermal origin. Aneurysms are rarely seen in peripheral arteries. This report presents a case of ruptured arterial aneurysm secondary to neurofibromatosis; the lesion occurred in the profunda femoris artery, a highly unusual location. Treatment of patients with ruptured arterial aneurysm secondary to neurofibromatosis may be interventional or surgical. In this case, a surgical approach was successful.
神经纤维瘤病是一种常染色体显性遗传病，其特征为涉及中胚层和神经外胚层起源组织的异常生长。动脉瘤在周围动脉中很少见。本报告介绍了一例继发于神经纤维瘤病的动脉动脉瘤破裂病例；病变发生在股深动脉，这是一个非常不寻常的位置。继发于神经纤维瘤病的动脉动脉瘤破裂患者的治疗方法可以是介入性的或手术性的。在本病例中，手术方法取得了成功。
