Abstract

We present a rare case of unilateral anterior jugular venous phlebectasia in an 82-year-old female patient presenting as a soft cystic lump in the anterior aspect of the neck increasing in size during straining and valsalva manoeuvre. Although cases of internal and external jugular phlebectasia have been reported, as far as we are aware no case of anterior jugular phlebectasia has been reported in the literature previously.
