A case of a popliteal aneurysm presenting as a deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity is reported. Venous insufficiency symptoms, like presenting symptoms of a popliteal artery aneurysm, are an uncommon occurrence but often cause a wrong or delayed diagnosis with severe consequences for limb salvage. The importance of an accurate diagnostic study in any patient with a suspected deep vein thrombosis is emphasized in this report.
