“…MD is well known in surgical departments as a complication after breast surgery or other biopsies in the chest wall [5, 6], although being rare with an incidence ratio reported to be under 1% [1]. It is likely due to local trauma of the wall of the vein.…”

We here present a case of a 59-year-old man with Mondor’s disease, thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. This occurred after the patient had initiated extensive training with walking poles, Nordic walking, probably predisposing to the thrombosis. Underlying disease was ruled out, and the treatment was symptomatic. Physicians should be aware of this condition in patients performing extensive upper body workout.

“…However, among 3804 patients who underwent VABB, only 3 patients required surgical treatment of haematoma. Among other complications were fat necrosis and Mondor’s disease [ 29 ]. Therefore, the advantage of acquiring larger samples significantly outweighs the risks associated with VABB.…”

IntroductionAtypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a benign lesion, which due to the risk of coexisting cancer is classified as a lesion of uncertain malignant potential.AimTo identify clinical predictors of cancer underestimation in patients with ADH diagnosed after vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB).Material and methodsBetween 2001 and 2016, a total of 3804 vacuum-assisted core needle biopsies were performed at the First Chair of General Surgery of the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Krakow, including 2907 ultrasound (US)-guided biopsies and 897 digital stereotactic procedures. Seventy-six women were diagnosed with ADH and 72 of them underwent subsequent surgical excision. Demographic factors, medical history, family history, clinical symptoms, type and size of lesion determined in imaging scans, size of biopsy needle, and presence of coexisting lesions in VABB specimens were analysed as potential predictors of malignancy underestimation.ResultsUnderestimation of breast carcinoma occurred in 21 (29.2%) patients. The upgrade rate was significantly higher only in patients with a lesion visible both in mammography (MMG) and US examinations and combined BIRADS-5.ConclusionsVacuum-assisted core needle biopsy is a minimally invasive technique used in diagnosing ADH. As the risk of breast malignancy underestimation is relatively high, open surgical biopsy remains the recommended procedure, especially in patients with lesions detected both in mammography and US examination. As we could not identify the factors that preclude cancer underestimation, all the women diagnosed with ADH should be informed about the risk of cancer underestimation.

Background:Mondor’s disease of the subcutaneous veins of the breast is an uncommon disorder. The etiology of Mondor’s disease remains unclear. Usually, it is a self-limited disease. This condition has been associated with trauma, surgical biopsies, breast surgery (including silicone breast implant), physical activity, and a manifestation of breast cancer.Materials and Methods:This is a retrospective analysis of 652 female patients who underwent aesthetic breast surgery in the last 10 years.Results:We found three cases of Mondor’s disease after plastic surgery of the breast (0.46%) and performed an analysis of the clinical aspects and therapeutic measures. The disease onset was a couple of weeks to 2 years after surgery, never within the first 2 weeks after surgery. We did not observe ulceration or breast cancer. Treatment was unnecessary in two patients, whereas hot compresses and nonsteroidal medical drugs were prescribed in one patient. All lesions healed within 2–3 weeks.Conclusion:Mondor’s disease is a possible complication after aesthetic breast surgery but often runs a self-limiting course with spontaneous remission. It is important to exclude breast cancer. The patient should be informed that the disease runs a benign and self-limiting course.
