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.

Mondor’s disease is a rare superficial thrombophlebitis of subcutaneous vein and usually occurs in the anterior and lateral chest. Penile Mondor’s disease is a rare condition characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis of the dorsal vein of the penis. We report a rare case of atypical penile Mondor’s disease involved the right posterior scrotal vein, in a patient affected by essential thrombocythemia. A 50-years old man presented with thrombosis of right posterior scrotal vein. He presented with an indurated subcutaneous and painful cord, palpable along the length of the involved vein and located parallel to the urethra in the posterior aspect of the scrotum. It was treated with lowmolecular- weight heparin and resolves without sequelae. The scrotal vein thrombosis is a fairly rare disease.

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.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old healthy male presented with a complaint of chest pain after mild thoracic trauma sustained while rescuing stranded flood victims during Hurricane Harvey. Careful physical examination revealed a tender palpable cord along the lateral aspect of his chest consistent with a superficial thrombophlebitis. Discussion: Mondor’s disease is a superficial thrombophlebitis with myriad underlying causes that can involve the thoracic wall. Although Mondor’s disease has been well described in the literature, this case describes a unique presentation in an austere environment with blunt trauma as the underlying cause.

Dorsal Vein thrombosis, also known as Mondor’s disease of the penis, is a superficial thrombophlebitis first described in the literature by Falco in 1955. Mondor’s disease refers to a superficial thrombophlebitis of any locale. Diagnosis can be made clinically with palpation of a mobile, cord-like thickening on dorsum of penis without associated evidence of inflammation, infection, or dermatologic changes. Bedside ultrasonography with color Doppler can aid in the diagnosis of penile thrombophlebitis by revealing a noncompressible superficial vessel with normal surrounding flow. The following case presentation details the etiology, diagnosis, and management of a particularly rare disease process.

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.

History Of

Mondor's disease of the penis, otherwise known as superficial thrombophlebitis (STP) or thrombosis of the dorsal vein, is an under-reported benign condition, the aetiology of which is poorly understood. It is characterized by a sudden, indurated swelling of the vein, often occurring after vigorous sexual activity. We report a case of Mondor's disease occurring 24h following a 15h flight. This gentleman also reported a history of STP of his left lower limb varicose veins following a similar-length flight three years previously. In the absence of any other clear predisposing factor, we propose long-haul flight as an important factor contributing to the development of dorsal vein thrombosis.

Mondor’s disease of the penis is an under-reported condition caused by superficial thrombophlebitis of the dorsal vein or thrombosis of the deep venous network of the penis. This is a benign, self-limiting condition, characterized by a sudden, indurated swelling of the aforementioned veins. The possible causes comprise traumatism, neoplasms, excessive sexual activity, or coagulation inherited deficit. An accompanied lymphangitis is discussed, eventually as a distinct variety. The differential diagnosis must be established by the means of ultrasound, which is the imaging diagnostic technique of choice. We describe the case of Mondor’s sclerotizing lymphangitis secondary to recurrent episodes of genitourinary infection previously diagnosed as recurrent superficial Mondor thrombophlebitis of the penis.

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.
