Adventitial cystic disease (ACD) is an uncommon cause of ischemia. The majority of ACD is located in the popliteal artery. Over 49 extrapopliteal locations have been described. We report on a case of femoral artery ACD in a young patient with claudication. The diagnosis was made with duplex ultrasound and confirmed with computed tomographic angiogram. The patient underwent a surgical treatment. One year postoperatively, the patient is active with no claudication. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of extrapopliteal artery ACD in Canada.
