description INTRODUCTION: Distal radial artery aneurysms of the hand are rare. We herein report a rare case of radial artery aneurysm in the anatomical snuff box. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 61-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of a mass on the back of her left hand. A radiological examination showed a distal radial artery aneurysm. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the aneurysm with radial artery ligation. DISCUSSION: We discuss the etiologies and surgical management of radial artery aneurysms in the anatomical snuff box according to the published literature. CONCLUSION: An accurate diagnosis and a preoperative blood flow evaluation are necessary for appropriate surgical management of radial artery aneurysms.
