Abstract:
Lipomatous tumors of the heart and major central veins are unusual pathologic findings. We report an intravascular lipoma arising directly from the wall of the left common femoral vein (LCFV) in a patient who had progressive left leg swelling and in whom a deep venous thrombosis in the LCFV was initially diagnosed. this is the first case report if such a tumor in the literature. the computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and intraoperative features are presented. the procedure of tumor excision and venous reconstruction with a cadaveric allograft is described.

Veins of Lower Limbs
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the knee,...
Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis
The inferior vena cava is fed by numerous smaller veins. The lumbar veins, for instance, drain the posterior abdominal wall, emptying both directly into the inferior vena cava and into the...

The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...
Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
