Abstract

Introduction: Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) affecting veins is a very rare condition. Report: We report two cases of ACD affecting veins in female patients aged 50 and 32 years who underwent surgical excision. Discussion: Venous ACD presents with deep venous thrombosis (DVT)-mimic symptoms resulting from venous compression by the cystic mass. Optimal treatment of venous ACD is complete surgical removal of the cystic wall and its contents; however, recurrent symptoms are often reported because of recurrence of the cystic mass.
