“…Studies report incidence ranges from 0,5% to 0,8%, with usual age of presentation between 30 and 60 years and gender-related differences, with women affected three times more than men 1,2 . However the incidence may be underrated since most of the studies included symptomatic patients, and most of asymptomatic patients refrain from seeking medical attention 1 .…”

Mondor's disease (MD) is a rare disease characterised by thrombophlebitis of superficial veins in the body. We describe a case of a 28-year-old woman with a painful cord-like lesion of the right breast (3 cm) overlying the right upper quadrant. The patient was recently prescribed metformin and oral contraceptive pills for symptomatic polycystic ovarian syndrome. Right breast ultrasound showed a tubular anechoic structure with several areas of narrowing, resembling a beaded appearance. The patient was diagnosed with MD associated with use of oral contraceptive pills. We recommended the patient to discontinue oral contraceptive because discontinuation of the causative drug is important. The patient was started on topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a therapeutic dose of enoxaparin. The patient showed significant clinical improvement after 5 days. At 6-week outpatient follow-up, complete resolution of the disease was noted.

Most of the cases have a good prognosis, with spontaneous complete remission, requiring only symptomatic treatment (anti-inflammatory medication and local application of heat) 5 .…”

Mondor's disease is a rare entity characterized by sclerosing thrombophlebitis classically involving one or more of the subcutaneous veins of the breast and anterior chest wall. It is usually a self-limited, benign condition, despite of rare cases of association to cancer. We present the case of a 32 year-old female, breast-feeding, who went to emergency due to left mastalgia for the past week. She was taking antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, previously prescribed for suspicious of mastitis, for three days, with no clinical improvement. Physical examination showed an enlarged left breast, an axillary lump and a painful cord-like structure in the upper outer quadrant of the same breast. Ultrasound scan showed a markedly dilated superficial vein in the upper outer quadrant of left breast. The patient was given a ventropic therapy and was kept in anti-inflammatory, with progressive pain improvement. Ultrasound control was performed after four weeks, showing reperfusion.
