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.

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.

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.

Limiting Condition

Mondor’s disease (MD), or superficial thrombophlebitis of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall, is a rare disease that presents with a palpable cord-like induration beneath the skin. It is a benign, self-limiting condition with probably underestimated significance due to the fact it may be a rare manifestation of an underlying breast carcinoma. It can also resemble breast malignancy and, if physician is not familiar with clinical features of MD, it may lead to unnecessary biopsy. The diagnosis is straightforward in most cases and it may be based on a thorough history and physical examination and it can be ultrasonographically confirmed. Raising awareness of this condition may facilitate recognition and diagnosing MD and eventually limit unnecessary diagnostic procedures.

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.
