The mass was presumed to be a deep vein thrombus. Asian Journal of Surgery 2016 39, 178-181DOI: (10.1016/j.asjsur.2013.07.002) Copyright © 2013 Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 (a) Operative image illustrating the gushing of gelatinous mucoid content from the incision of the CFV. (b) An adventitial cystic mass (white arrow) extends from the medial to the posterior surface of the left CFV. The black arrow indicates a simple closure of the venotomy site in a transverse fashion with CV number 7-0. CFV = common femoral vein; GSV = great saphenous vein.
