Abstract
Venous aneurysms are uncommon and can involve the entire venous system and occur at any age. The presence of these aneurysmal formations at the level of the saphenous vein junction is rarely reported, given the small number of cases described in the literature. We report the case of a 41-year-old patient with an aneurysm in the saphenofemoral junction of the right great saphenous vein, discovered incidentally during a consultation for varicose veins of the right lower limb.
