Abstract: Three cases of relatively rare peripheral aneurysms were reported. The first patient was admitted to our clinic with a pulsatile mass in the left posterior cural region. Angiographically, the left posterior tibial artery had an aneurysmal dilatation with a dense hypervascular halo. The mass was resected under the diagnosis of an aneurysm and microscopically, it was found to consist of leiomyoma arising from the artery wall. The second patient was hospitalized with a complaint of severe abdominal pain. She underwent an emergency laparotomy. At that time, a massive hematoma occupying the left half of the pelvis was found. Under the diagnosis of a ruputured aneurysm, double ligation of the origin of the left internal iliac artery was performed with success. The last patient complained of a pulsatile mass and pain in the right subingunal region for a month. On the angiogram, the right deep femoral artery in general showed a tortuous and irregular contour, pressing against the superficial femoral artery. The aneurysm was successfully resected and replaced with an autologous saphenous vein segment.
