Özet: Symptomatic pubic varicosities are rarely seen lesions in adults. These lesions may occur as a result of obstruction in proximal venous outflow in pelvis. Complete understanding of underlying pathologic process is mandatory before any intervention for these lesions. Unnecessary closure of these varicosities would also remove vital collateral circulation from the lower extremity in the chronic iliac vein occlusion. Herein, we present a female patient with pubic varicose veins which presented with crossover collaterals due to chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on left lower extremity.
