Core Tip

Core Tip: Venous adventitious cystic disease is a rare condition characterized by the occurrence of cysts filled with a gelatinous substance similar to synovial fluid in the outer layer of blood vessels adjacent to joints. It can be misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis, femoral varices, venous tumors, or lymphadenopathy. To prevent recurrence, it is important to completely remove the connections to the joint cavity.
