Aneurysms are abnormal vessel dilatations that usually occur in the arterial system.The presence of these in the veins is very uncommon, finding only a few reports in the literature.They can be classified into two types: primary and secondary.Clinical presentation in most cases is with thrombosis in situ.A case of 23-year-old man with an 8-month history of a growing mass in the left groin with a history of bilateral hernioplasty, mastectomy due to gynecomastia, and several esthetic procedures, has a history of repetitive trauma from bodybuilding.The patient was attended for pain, finding an image suggesting the presence of a fusiform aneurysm in the proximal third of the left common femoral vein measured 3 × 3 cm in diameter.The patient was taken to the operating room to perform the aneurysmectomy.
