Arterial adventitial cystic disease is an uncommon type of non-atherosclerotic peripheral vessel disease. Most cases of arterial adventitial cystic disease occur in the popliteal arteries; however, fewer cases have been reported in the femoral arteries. A 59-year-old male patient visited the hospital with a complaint of a swelling on the lower extremity that had begun two months earlier. Suspecting deep vein thrombosis based on a physical examination and ultrasonography from another hospital, tests were performed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed for exact diagnosis because venous adventitial cystic disease was suspected by computed tomography venography. The MRI indicated venous adventitial cystic disease as well. Thus, a cystic mass excision was performed. In the end, a cystic mass compressing the common femoral vein that originated from the common femoral artery was diagnosed based on the macroscopic findings. This case is reported because blood circulation in the vein was impeded due to arterial adventitial cystic disease, and the symptoms improved after the cystic mass excision and polytetrafluoroethylene roofing angioplasty.

Cystic adventitial disease is rare, but it is one of the well-recognized causes of non-atherosclerotic arterial stenosis or obstruction. Despite one of its most common symptoms being chronic intermittent claudication, it may be misdiagnosed as arterial embolism when presented with acute ischemic symptoms. Surgical resection is recommended because of recurrence or a low success rate with aspiration or endovascular stent. We performed resection and repair with autologous vein patch for cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery of a 57-year-old man presenting with pain, pallor, and paresthesia, without any postoperative complications or recurrence.

외막낭성질환은 점액을 함유하는 낭종이 혈관벽에 생긴 것으로 정맥에 생기는 경우는 매우 드물다. 우리는 41세 남자 환자에서 심부 정맥 혈전증으로 오인하였다가 외막낭성질환으로 진단하게 된 증례를 특징적인 영상 소견과 함께 심부 정맥 혈전증과 비교하여 보고하고자 한다.

Simple ganglions are most common benign tumor of the hand and wrist. However, cystic adventitial disease is an uncommon vascular anomaly first described in 1947 in the external iliac artery. It usually involves the popliteal artery, although other arteries and veins may also be involved. Radial artery adventitial cysts are found directly within the adventitia, whereas the more common wrist ganglions may extrinsically compress or adhere to the artery walls. The diagnosis is rarely made before surgery because of their similar appearance and location. The authors report a rare case of a 46-year old woman with mucoid adventitial cyst of the radial artery in the wrist.
