  • Title: Leiomyoma of the greater saphenous vein: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Almaroof BH, Castillo-Sang M, Gociman B, Martinez BD.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2009; 23(3):413.e1-3. PubMed ID: 18804951.
    Abstract:
    Greater saphenous vein tumors are exceedingly rare, whether benign or malignant. Leiomyoma is one of the benign vascular tumors that can present as a localized mass; however, the diagnosis cannot be made clinically. Multiple radiologic imagings are usually required, as well as histological examination, to make a definitive diagnosis. This tumor is treated by wide excision along with a normal portion of the vessel, and the recurrence rate is very low. We describe the case of a patient with great saphenous vein leiomyoma.
