Abstract Background Mondor’s disease of the breast (MDB) is a rare and benign disorder of the breast. It is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the chest wall. Clinically, it manifests as a cord-like induration of the breast area. MDB resolves spontaneously without sequela. Case presentation We report cases of three Caucasian African patients aged 29, 40 and 34, respectively. One patient was under progestative contraception. All the patients had a cord-like induration on the chest wall. Ultrasonography was performed in all patients and was normal in two cases and showed a thrombotic vein in one case. All the patients had symptomatic treatment with total resolution of symptoms within 1 to 4 weeks. No relapse was observed. Conclusion MDB is benign in most cases. However, it is not to be taken lightly, because it can be the manifestation of an underlying disease such as breast cancer. The diagnosis is based on clinical findings; ultrasonography can be helpful for the diagnosis. Treatment is based on analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract Background: Mondor's disease (MD) is a rare benign and self-limited entity characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis of a vein in special regions. It may be secondary to trauma, malignancy, surgery, excessive physical activity or hyperviscosity. Diagnosis of MD is often based on history and physical examination. Case presentation: Here we present a rare case of Mondor's disease of chest wall with a pain and subcutaneous cord-like induration of right lateral chest. Ultrasonography revealed a superficial venous thrombosis of right thoracoepigastric vein. After treatment of aspirin for 2 weeks, chest pain was obviously relieved, and the lesion completely resolved approximately 6 weeks after presentation. Conclusions: Mondor’s disease could spontaneously resolved after several weeks and excessive medical intervention should be avoided.

Abstract We here present a case of a 59-year-old man with Mondor’s disease, thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. This occurred after the patient had initiated extensive training with walking poles, Nordic walking, probably predisposing to the thrombosis. Underlying disease was ruled out, and the treatment was symptomatic. Physicians should be aware of this condition in patients performing extensive upper body workout.

Mondor’s disease is a rare condition and usually treated with low-molecular weight heparin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Because of paucity of cases and for the usually spontaneous resolution, there is not a standard treatment strategy and the use of oral anticoagulation in controversial. We reported the efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants in the recurrent Mondor’s disease refractory to standard therapy.

Introduction.Mondor's disease of the penis is an uncommon condition characterized by thrombosis or thrombophlebitis involving the superficial dorsal veins. An accompanied lymphangitis is discussed. There is typical self-limiting clinical course.Case Presentation.This paper firstly reports a secondary abscess formation of the preputial leaf two weeks after penile Mondor's disease and subcutaneous lymphangitis as complication of excessive sexual intercourse of a 44-year-old man. Sexual transmitted diseases could be excluded. Lesions healed up completely under abscess drainage, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory medication.Conclusion.Previous reports in the literature include several entities of the penile Mondor's disease. Our patient is very unusual in that he presented with a secondary preputial abscess formation due to superficial thrombophlebitis, subcutaneous lymphangitis, and local bacterial colonisation. Abscess drainage plus antiphlogistic and antibiotic medication is the treatment of choice.

Frequent Reason

Introduction: Chest pain is a very frequent reason for seeking medical care. When there is no obvious cause, patients are sometimes subjected to tests and treatments that may be unnecessary and potentially harmful. Mondor's disease is a rare but usually benign and self-limited entity characterized by thrombophlebitis in a specific region. Case report: We report the clinical case of a 51-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with a 24-hour history of left chest pain with no other symptoms. Physical examination revealed a palpable subcutaneous cord-like structure that ultrasound confirmed to be thrombophlebitis of a superficial vein in the mammary region. Secondary causes were ruled out, and the condition resolved with ibuprofen and the application of local ice. Discussion: Mondor’s disease can be associated with neoplasms, trauma or hyperviscosity states, but it is mostly idiopathic. Usually, it resolves completely in 4–8 weeks without specific treatment. Because this infrequent diagnosis mainly relies on clinical findings, it is important that clinicians can recognize the syndrome.

Abstract Introduction Mondor's Disease (MD) is a rare condition characterised by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall. Cases associated with inflammatory bowel disease are rare. Case A 54-year-old male presented to the symptomatic breast clinic with a 6-week history of a painful linear area on the anterolateral aspect of his left chest wall. There was no history of trauma or underlying coagulopathy. He also described increased stool frequency and crampy abdominal pain. On clinical examination, superficial thrombophlebitis with cording was noted along the outer upper quadrant of the chest wall. His past medical history included a previous diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, with no pharmacological treatment. He was subsequently referred to a gastroenterologist and all symptoms resolved following management of his underlying colitis. Discussion This gentleman’s thrombophlebitis followed the course of the thoracoepigastric vein. The occurrence of thromboembolic events has been documented in association with an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis; however, literature describing MD is scarce. The underlying aetiology is reportedly due to the hypercoagulable state identified in ulcerative colitis. There is a lack of consensus on the treatment of MD, however cases have responded well to the management of the precipitating colitis. Low molecular weight heparin can be used if chronicity ensues. Surgical management is not recommended. Conclusions MD is a rare presentation of ulcerative colitis. Clinicians should be aware of underlying aetiologies and a potential hypercoagulable state. Such cases in relation to UC require early diagnosis and treatment of underlying colitis.

Benign Course

Mondor’s disease is an unusual and little-known pathology of the breast, characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis. The causes are still unresolved. Most of the patients do not fall under case studies of the scientific literature, given the reported incidence rate between 0.5% and 0.8%. The Mondor’s disease patients are not always properly identified, and they are frequently treated as outpatients, even considering the benign course of the disease which often spontaneously resolves without any medical therapy. We report here six new cases of Mondor’s disease, two of them were likely due to a trauma and were easily resolved with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; the third one was apparently due to the stretching of the mammary veins in a patient with gigantomastia; the fourth one was subsequent to hormonal stimulation for in vivo fertilization and following gestation; and the last two cases (one was a man) were diagnosed after undergoing surgery for breast carcinoma.

Mondor's disease (MD) is a rare disease characterised by thrombophlebitis of superficial veins in the body. We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman with a painful cord-like lesion of the right breast (3 cm) overlying the right upper quadrant. The patient was recently prescribed metformin and oral contraceptive pills for symptomatic polycystic ovarian syndrome. Right breast ultrasound showed a tubular anechoic structure with several areas of narrowing, resembling a beaded appearance. The patient was diagnosed with MD associated with use of oral contraceptive pills. We recommended the patient to discontinue oral contraceptive because discontinuation of the causative drug is important. The patient was started on topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a therapeutic dose of enoxaparin. The patient showed significant clinical improvement after 5 days. At 6-week outpatient follow-up, complete resolution of the disease was noted.
