Περίληψη:
Femoral and popliteal artery aneurysms constitute the majority of
peripheral arterial aneurysms. However, aneurysm of the profunda femoral
artery is highly uncommon, being mainly of traumatic and mycotic origin.
Diagnosis is usually straightforward with clinical and radiological
examination, and such aneurysms are only rarely misdiagnosed as tumors.
We herein report a case of preoperatively diagnosed pseudoaneurysm of
the profunda femoral artery that was intraoperatively found to be a soft
tissue tumor and finally revealed to be a schwannomma, by pathology. Our
case’s unusual presentation considerably confounded both diagnosis and
management, thus providing a salutary clinical lesson.
