Arterial variations of the femoral triangle are rarely reported in the literature. In the present article, we have reported a case of high origin of the deep femoral artery, which was originating just lower to the inguinal ligament. It was also observed that the lateral circumflex femoral artery arose directly from the femoral artery instead from the deep femoral artery. We have discussed the anatomy, embryological basis, and clinical implications of these variations along with relevant literature review. The importance of knowledge about these variations in therapeutic and diagnostic interventions is discussed.

Abstract Background Primitive neuroectodermal tumours are clinically rare. Here, we report a case of a large peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the abdominal wall. The defect was reconstructed with the longest lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap reported to date. Case presentation A 15-year-old male suffered rupture and bleeding of an abdominal wall mass with a volume of approximately 23*18*10 cm3, involving the whole layer of the abdominal wall. Pathological examination revealed a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumour. The tumour was removed via oncologic resection, and the abdominal wall was reconstructed with a bilateral 44*8 cm2 lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap combined with a titanium polypropylene patch. The patient had smooth recovery postoperative, and the functions of the donor and recipient areas of the flap were not significantly affected. Conclusion In this case report, we describe a rare primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the abdominal wall, which invaded almost the entire abdominal wall due to delay of treatment. After thoroughly removing the tumour, we immediately reconstructed the abdominal wall with an ultra-long lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap and achieved better appearance and function after the operation. This case suggests that we should adopt an integrated scheme of surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumours. Under the premise of determining the blood supply, the lateral circumflex femoral artery musculocutaneous flap can be cut to a sufficient length.

Lateral Circumflex Femoral

Introduction. The lateral circumflex femoral artery usually originates from the lateral side of the initial part of the deep femoral artery, or less frequently from the femoral artery. If it is a branch of the femoral artery, it arises directly above the point of origin of the deep femoral artery. The aim of this study was to determine the origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, its origin distance from the midpoint of the inguinal ligament and the topographical relations of the origin, which have a great significance in clinical work. Material and Methods. A dissection was performed on the autopsy group of 42 thighs, followed by the analysis of anatomical relationships of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. All data were entered into the custom-made protocol, which contained the case number, age and sex, side, topographical- anatomical relations of the lateral circumflex femoral artery, artery dimensions and variations, and the distance between the place of origin of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the midpoint of the inguinal ligament. Results. In our study, the lateral circumflex femoral artery most frequently originated from the deep femoral artery, i.e. in 78.6% of cases. In 19.0% of limbs, it originated from the femoral artery, and in one case (2.4%) from a common stem of the deep femoral artery and the lateral circumflex femoral artery, coming from the femoral artery. Conclusion. In clinical practice, it is of great importance to know the origin variations of the lateral circumflex femoral artery while planning and performing various surgical and invasive diagnostic procedures in the inguino-femoral region.
