Post-thrombotic aneurysmal dilatation of the right hypogastric vein in a 34-year-old male intravenous drug user with long-standing history of lower limb thrombophlebitis. Requested to investigate sepsis and suspected deep venous thrombosis, CT showed a well-demarcated ovoid mass lesion abutting the right obturator muscle, measuring 30–35 HU precontrast attenuation (A). The lesion compressed the urinary bladder, enhanced homogeneously and synchronously with venous structures (B, C). Surgical repair was unnecessary considering absence of complications [Adapted from Open Access ref. no. [40]]
