Some cases may be misdiagnosed as Baker"s cyst or tibiofibular cysts. Surgical repair is recommended to avoid life-threatening complications including pulmonary embolism. Herein, we report the successful surgical repair of a primary popliteal vein saccular aneurysm misdiagnosed as Baker"s cyst during the initial admission for pulmonary embolism.
