External jugular vein aneurysm (EJVA) is a rare clinical entity. A 23-year-old man presented with a spontaneous unilateral cervical swelling. Physical examination revealed a soft, nonpulsatile mass at the left supraclavicular region. Color duplex ultrasound combined with computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of an EJVA. A surgical excision was accomplished without any complications during the early follow-up. EJVA mandates a high index of suspicion in the differential diagnosis of a neck mass. The open surgical approach seems to be a safe and effective therapeutic strategy.
颈外静脉动脉瘤（EJVA）是一种罕见的临床病症。一名 23 岁男性因自发性单侧颈部肿胀就诊。体格检查发现左锁骨上区有一处柔软、无搏动性肿块。彩色双功能超声联合计算机断层扫描（CT）确诊为 EJVA。早期随访期间，手术切除顺利，无任何并发症。EJVA 在鉴别颈部肿块时需要高度怀疑。开放式手术似乎是一种安全有效的治疗策略。
