    Abstract:
    Rupture is a very rare complication of popliteal artery aneurysm. In this paper a case of, originally misdiagnosed as an abscess, ruptured popliteal aneurysm in a 82-year-old man is presented. Main symptoms were pain and a mass in distal part of the thigh and in popliteal fossa and anaemia. After admission to our institution arteriography was performed and the patient was operated on as an emergency. The part of destroyed popliteal artery was reconstructed with the segment of autogenous great saphenous vein.
