A leaking popliteal artery aneurysm can mimic soft tissue sarcoma on imaging. Differentiating requires considering aneurysm location, vascular engulfment, and hemorrhage signs.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Popliteal artery aneurysms can present with complex symptoms.
  • Distinguishing vascular lesions from soft tissue tumors is clinically significant.

Observation:

  • A case of a thrombosed, leaking popliteal artery aneurysm is presented.
  • The aneurysm mimicked soft tissue sarcoma on clinical and MRI evaluation.

Findings:

  • Difficulty in differentiating leaking aneurysms from sarcomas with hemorrhage is noted.
  • Key diagnostic indicators for aneurysms include characteristic location, vascular engulfment, and signs of chronic hemorrhage.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of including aneurysms in the differential diagnosis for popliteal masses.
