A member asked:
I have a lump in my forearm that is diagnosed as an aneurysm of the left basilic vein. the doctor can perform an aneurysmectomy or leave it. thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vein: This bulging of the basilic vein should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon and I would abide by his/her advice. There is a good chance that no surgery will be needed but periodic follow-up can be done if the aneurysm is not symptomatic.
