Abstract:
Arterial endofibrosis is a rare disease usually affecting the external iliac artery in highly trained athletes. We report a case of bilateral external iliac endofibrosis in a 44-year-old cyclist. Microscopic examination of the resection specimen showed an isolated thickening of the arterial intima, and confirmed the diagnosis of this entity of unknown etiology.
