Leiomyoma is a benign vascular tumor affecting the greater saphenous vein rarely.

A 36-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of a dull ache on her right groin for the last three months, along with a palpable mass on the mentioned area. An ultrasound (U\/S) scan revealed a solid mass measuring<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mn>3<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00d7<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>\u2009cm. After wide surgical excision, pathological examination revealed a leiomyoma of the GSV.<jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic>. Benign and mostly malignant tumors arising from the GSV are reported in the literature before. Diagnostic modalities and clinical examination cannot set a correct diagnosis preoperatively due to no specific characteristics of these tumors. Possible sarcomatous behaviour has to be kept in mind when treating tumors arising from a vessel wall and wide surgical excision as negative margins should be attempted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/237391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,2]],"date-time":"2013-12-02T16:01:06Z","timestamp":1386000066000},"page":"1-2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Leiomyoma of the Greater Saphenous Vein Mimicking Inguinal Lymphadenopathy"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3419-4862","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dionysios","family":"Dellaportas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Surgery, University Hospital Aretaieion, Attiki, 11528 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Kotsis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Surgery, University Hospital Aretaieion, Attiki, 11528 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Carvounis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, University Hospital Aretaieion, Attiki, 11528 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lazaros","family":"Samanides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Surgery, University Hospital Aretaieion, Attiki, 11528 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-195811000-00027"},{"issue":"1","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1711160106","volume":"116","year":"1975","journal-title":"Journal of Pathology"},{"issue":"6","key":"3","first-page":"399","volume":"21","year":"1992","journal-title":"Skeletal Radiology"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13577140400023610"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2008.08.011"},{"year":"2001","key":"6"},{"issue":"11","key":"7","first-page":"1387","volume":"79","year":"1998","journal-title":"Journal de Radiologie"},{"issue":"6","key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"720","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-198212001-00019","volume":"196","year":"1982","journal-title":"Annals of Surgery"},{"issue":"11","key":"9","first-page":"457","volume":"131","year":"1994","journal-title":"Journal de Chirurgie"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2013\/237391.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2013\/237391.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2013\/237391.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T23:30:34Z","timestamp":1498087834000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/cris\/2013\/237391\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":9,"alternative-id":["237391","237391"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/237391","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6900","2090-6919"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6900"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6919"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
