Superficial venous aneurysms are a very rare pathology. This case report describes a 21-years-old male patient, who developed a soft, slow-growing mass, in the lateral part of the dorsal foot. Based on clinical examination and EcocolorDoppler ultrasound exam, the diagnosis of venous aneurysm of the lateral marginal vein was confirmed. The treatment proposed was ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy. The purpose of this work is to describe for the first time a venous superficial aneurysm localized in the lateral marginal vein of the foot. It is the first case reported in English literature.
