Abstract

Background: Vascular blow-out syndrome is a life-threatening bleeding condition that usually occurs in the carotid arteries as a result of invasion of head and neck malignant tumors. There are several case reports in the literature on peripheral vascular blow out. To our knowledge, there is no other case report in the literature on blow-out in the femoral artery secondary to skin malignancy.
