External jugular vein aneurysms presenting as neck masses is very rare in the literature. This case report presents an 80-year-old female, who was referred to the office due to an incidental finding of a left submandibular neck mass. The patient presented to her primary care physician initially complaining of bilateral intermittent ear pain that was present for several years. After extensive workup, the patient was diagnosed with a left external jugular vein aneurysm. When asymptomatic, this rare condition can be followed safely on an outpatient basis. Vascular surgery consultation should also be considered.
文献中，表现为颈部肿块的颈外静脉动脉瘤极为罕见。本病例报告介绍了一位80岁女性，因偶然发现左下颌下颈部肿块而前来就诊。该患者最初向其初级保健医生主诉双侧间歇性耳痛，已持续数年。经过全面检查，患者被诊断为左颈外静脉动脉瘤。无症状时，这种罕见病症可在门诊安全随访。也应考虑咨询血管外科。
