We report two cases of venous aneurysms of the foot, presented as a nonpulsatile, painless mass on the back of the foot, with no history of trauma. Doppler ultrasonography showed an anechoic, oval mass communicating with the vein and venous signal suggestive of venous aneurysm. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic analysis, with aneurysmal dilatation involving the three layers of the venous wall. The treatment consisted of ligation and surgical excision. Venous aneurysms are relatively rare, and their presence has been reported in many locations, particularly in the lower limbs. Any venous aneurysms of the foot were found in the review of the literature.Keywords: Aneurysm, vein, surgery. ResumoEste relato descreve dois casos de aneurisma venoso no pé, apresentados sob a forma de tumoração indolor e não-pulsátil no dorso do pé e sem história de trauma. O ultra-som Doppler evidenciou formação ovalada, anecóica, em comunicação com a veia e com sinal Doppler venoso, sugestiva de aneurisma venoso. O diagnóstico foi confirmado pelo exame histopatológico, com dilatação aneurismática constituída pelos três componentes da parede da veia. O tratamento consistiu na ligadura e ressecção cirúrgica. Os aneurismas venosos são relativamente raros, havendo relato de sua presença em várias localizações, principalmente nos membros inferiores. Na revisão da literatura, não foram encontrados relatos de aneurismas venosos no pé.
