<description xml:lang='en' descriptionType='Abstract'><p>Introduction: Although saphenofemoral junction aneurysms are not so rare, only scarce of the published cases reported<br />thrombosis of the aneurysmal sac and saphenous trunk.<br />Presentation of case: A 65-year-old male with varicose disease, developed acute ascending superficial vein thrombosis<br />of the left greater saphenous vein, involving the 6-cm saphenofemoral junction aneurysm. The patient underwent common<br />femoral vein thrombectomy, aneurysm removal, and greater saphenous vein excision with uneventful postoperative course.<br />Conclusion: Thrombosed giant saphenofemoral junction aneurysms require emergent surgical intervention aimed at<br />preventing potential progression to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.</p></description>
