Popis: Profunda femoris artery aneurysm (PFAA) is rare and has a high incidence of rupture. Herein, we report the case of an 80-year-old man who developed sarcopenia after gastric surgery. The patient presented to our hospital with a reddish thigh and was diagnosed with PFAA rupture. We performed aneurysmectomy and graft interposition in emergency. Postoperative enhanced computed tomography revealed an interposed graft, and the patient was discharged on postoperative Day 7. We considered that the PFAA patients with sarcopenia has a high risk of rupture because the muscles surrounding the profunda femoris artery became weak, and should be followed-up closely.
