Rupture of Thrombosed Popliteal Aneurysm: A Case Report.

Asymptomatic rupture of a popliteal arterial aneurysm (AAP) is rare but has been previously reported in the literature. Here, we present the first case of a thrombosed AAP that ruptured and developed into an abscess. We present the case of an 83-year-old male patient who was admitted to the emergency room in an impaired general condition, with a 3-month history of a daily fever that mainly occurred in the evening (38°C), a lack of appetite, and weight loss of 18 kg over 3 months.
