“…Several predisposing factors have been described, such as vessel-wall damage, stasis and a hypercoagulable state. 4 The etiology is usually related to a trauma as in our patient, surgery, 5 muscular strain 6 or electrocution. 7 It may also be due to bacterial and viral infections.…”

“…4,14 When this treatment is not sufficient for healing or when the disease recurs, a thrombectomy or superficial vein resection is carried out. 6 Mondor's disease is not usually a risk factor for recurrent thrombophlebitis; this event is very rare and can be found in about 3% of cases. However, superficial thrombophlebitis has been reported in association with deep-vein thrombosis.…”

Mondor's disease is characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis affecting the subcutaneous veins, especially those of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall. Thrombophlebitis is usually a subcutaneous, tender, painful cordlike induration, usually found in the breast or the axilla. It typically affects middle-aged women. Thus, we believe the case of a 48-yearold male patient admitted to the emergency room for chest pain with a palpable, non-erythematous, and painful cord-like structure localized in the anterior chest wall and the abdomen to be of interest. He had had a mild thoracic trauma. Doppler analysis showed a thrombosis of the superficial vein of the thorax. The patient was treated by Fondaparinux Sodium 2.5 mg subcutaneously per day for 30 days. Evolution was favorable. Although uncommon, Mondor's disease has to be recognized to avoid useless diagnosis testing and to deliver a specific treatment.

“…It is an uncommon complication of breast surgery (Remy, Berry & Hamelin, 2008) characterized by superficial acute thrombophlebitis of the breast and chest/abdominal wall (Soler-Gonzalez & Ruiz, 2005). In addition, it is considered a variant of thrombophlebitis (Bauerfeind, Himsl, & Ruehl, 2006) that affects the thorcoepigastric, lateral thoracic or superior epigastric veins (Onder, Canpolat, Aksakal & Alli Gurer, 2005). It was first described by Fage in 1870 and later characterized in detail by Henry Mondor, a French surgeon, in 1939 (Temple, Baron, & Cody, 2002).…”
