Abstract
Venous aneurysms are benign vascular lesions usually located in the neck, lower extremity, and abdomen, but rarely in the upper extremity. There may be a mistake or delay in diagnosis because they are uncommon. We report a case of a healthy 54-year-old man who had a cephalic venous aneurysm in his wrist that grew slowly over 20â¯years. The diagnosis was made on MRI and confirmed with excisional surgery. Radiologists should consider venous aneurysms in the differential when evaluating soft tissue masses as they will often be the first to make the correct diagnosis.
