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

Author: Takeshi Kondo

Published in: Journal of Medical Case Reports | Issue 1/2011

Abstract

Introduction

Mondor's disease is a peculiar form of thrombophlebitis, involving a superficial vein in the subcutaneous fat of the breast or anterior chest wall.

Case presentation

The author presents a case of a 35-year-old male Japanese patient with cord-like induration in the right lateral thoracic wall. This lesion was diagnosed as traumatic funicular phlebitis, resembling Mondor's disease.

Conclusion

Traumatic funicular phlebitis, resembling Mondor's disease, is a clinical entity which may give suggestive insight to the etiology of Mondor's disease itself.
