Traumatic funicular phlebitis of the thoracic wall resembling Mondor's disease: a case report

Doppler Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Penile Mondor's Disease: Case Report and Literature Review

Background

Penile involvement is a rare, self-limiting, benign genital condition. In Mondor’s disease the underlying pathology is thrombophlebitis of a superficial vein.

Case Report

In this case report, we want to present a rare Penile Mondor’s disease with literature review.

Conclusions

While the diagnosis can be based on history, physical examination and Doppler ultrasound, the necessity of both MRI, MR angiography and intracavernosal vasoactive agent administration can be questioned. Both MRI and intravenous vasoactive agent administration may be helpful in suspicious cases for differential diagnosis and to eliminate other etiologies like pelvic mass or thrombosis.

Tight Bra in a 34-Year-Old Woman: An Unusual Cause of Mondor's Disease

Mondor's disease is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and the chest wall. The list of causes is long. Various types of clothing, mainly tight bras and girdles, have been postulated as causes. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who referred typical symptoms and signs of Mondor's disease, without other possible risk factors, and showed the cutaneous findings of the tight bra. Therefore, after distinguishing benign causes of Mondor's disease from hidden malignant causes, the clinicians should consider this clinical entity.
