A deep femoral artery (DFA) aneurysm is a very rare pathology of the vascular system. Peripheral arterial aneurysms constitute 4.6% of all aneurysms, of which 0.13% are DFA aneurysms. In the literature, there are still few reports on this vascular system pathology. As a result, its diagnosis and treatment remain a serious clinical problem. This case study is of a 95-year-old patient admitted to our Department with anemia, swelling, and lower left leg pain. Generally, open surgery seems to be the treatment of choice for DFA aneurysms although the possibilities of intravascular therapy require further investigation.
