Profunda femoris artery aneurysms are uncommon and its postoperative recurrence is also rare. Arteriomegaly is diffuse ectasia of arteries from the abdomen to the lower limb and is often complicated with peripheral aneurysms. We report a case of recurrent profunda femoris artery aneurysm with arteriomegaly. A 74-year-man had aneurysmal repair with bypass using a great saphenous vein for a left profunda femoris artery aneurysm 15 months ago. At follow-up a pulsating mass in the left femoral region was occurred and computed tomography arteriography showed the recurrence of a profunda femoris artery aneurysm and digital subtraction angiography revealed diffuse ectasia of peripheral arteries below iliac regions. Prosthetic graft replacement of the left profunda femoris artery aneurysm was performed. Good patency of the graft was confirmed on the postoperative imaging and the patient has been well with no recurrence for 3 years.
