Abstract

Venous aneurysm can be presented in any veins throughout the body including thoracic, cervical, visceral and lower extremity veins. However, due to the low-pressure system of the superior vena cava, the venous aneurysms of the head and neck are rarely encountered than the deep veins of the abdomen and lower limbs. Among neck veins, internal jugular vein is more commonly involved than external jugular vein aneurysm. Venous aneurysms of the neck can be confused for a variety of neck masses. Complications of this diagnosis are mentioned in the literature, however, most patients can be safely discharged with close follow-up [11]. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman who presented with a non-tender, compressible mass found incidentally in the right supraclavicular region. Doppler Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of an external jugular vein saccular aneurysm. The patient denied surgery and we agreed that she was safe for discharge and could follow up as an outpatient.
