case_images: The new recurrent varicose veins were found to be arising from the profuse PAVA tissue in the groin (Figure 2(a) and (b)). The PAVA tissue was predominantly in the groin, within the saphenous fascia (Figure 2(a)) and associated with a lymph node (Figure 2(b)) and so could be classified as both "truncal" and "lymph node" pattern.
