Abstract:
Lower extremity superficial venous aneurysms are occasionally encountered by clinicians and are almost always located above the knee. Very few cases of aneurysm of the medial marginal vein in the most distal part, near the origin of the great saphenous vein, have been reported. We present a case of partially thrombosed aneurysm of the medial marginal vein, and briefly review the imaging characteristics and treatment options of this entity. Being aware of the existence of superficial venous aneurysms may help clinicians in their differential diagnosis of foot masses and choice of appropriate treatment.

Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.
