SCHIAPPACASSE, Giancarlo; DE LA BARRA, Camila  y  IBANEZ, Fernando. Cystic disease of the adventitial layer of the popliteal artery. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.1, pp.56-60. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.8.

Cystic adventitial disease is a rare vascular disorder of the peripheral arteries characterized by the collection of a mucinous substance inside the adventitia of the vessel. It has a predilection for the popliteal artery, being this localization about 85% of cases. Most of those affected are male between 40 to 50 years old, presenting with intermittent claudication of sudden onset and rapid progression without evidence of atherosclerotic disease. We describe the case of a 57 years old male who was diagnosed with this entity, with emphasis on the diagnostic imaging and surgical approach.

Palabras clave : Popliteal artery; adventitia; mucinous; diagnosis; differential; therapeutics.
