Abstract
A 56-year-old man sustained blunt trauma to the right calf which, 15 m onths later, manifested as a painful soft tissue mass with aggressive destruction of the fibula. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and p opliteal arteriography disclosed a peroneal arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm. Five years after pseudoaneurysm repair and fistula lig ation, the patient was free of symptoms and had no further bone destru ction.
