Copyright © 2021 by Türkiye Klinikleri.Through the past decade, the increased experience and technical advances in endovascular procedures enabled the use of percutaneous approaches more frequently to manage the peripheral arterial disease. However, despite endoluminal treatments' success in arterial lesions, their application in some unique circumstances is still debatable. These unfavorable conditions include anatomical location, functional impairment, and the factors affecting the intravascular flow dynamics. In this case report, an endovascular intervention of a patient who applied with intermittent claudication symptoms on his right leg was reported. Upon realizing the lesion was extravascular instead of being intravascular during the intraoperative course, the lesion was diagnosed with detailed imaging techniques. In diagnosis, a soft tissue calcification compressing the superficial femoral artery with a mass effect causing stenosis was detected. This case report is original for being the first case in the current literature and reported with detailed images.
