“…Anticoagulation, e.g. fondaparinux as proven effective in superficial thrombosis of the leg, is not of proven utility for MD but has been used in the acute phase [1, 7, 13]. With regards to returning to training, in DVTs, 1 month rest and full anticoagulation is proposed [8, 9].…”

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.

“…A basic screening of underlying disease is considered appropriate [13], although the frequency of reported underlying systemic disease is rare. In a recent Japanese overview article, only 5% of patients had underlying malignancy, and as much as 22% a traumatic etiology [1].…”

“…According to the Heijblom et al investigation, such a vein, running at a depth of 2 to 3 mm, can be perceived by the human retina as a bluish discoloration. Finally, mammography performed because Mondor disease may be associated with breast cancer, 6 was negative both for cancer and mastitis (Figure 4).…”

The model of Rembrandt’s Bathsheba, a celebrated painting of the Louvre Museum in Paris, was his lover Hendrickje Stoffels. The picture has periodically caught the attention of the medical community because Hendrickje appears to have a condition affecting her left breast. Generally breast cancer has been proposed. The past diagnoses have been reviewed and has been proposed a new one – Mondor’s disease – based on colour, a critique of past diagnoses, and the depth of the disease to be perceivable by the painters’ eye. Finally, the article shows a convincing comparison between Bathsheba disease and a case of Mondor’s thrombophebites recently observed.

“…It occurs mainly between the ages of 30 and 60 years and affects women much more frequently than men (Amano and Shimizu 2018; Vijayalakshmi and Anand 2017). Large pendulous breasts, strenuous physical activity, direct trauma, breast surgery (Goldman and Wollina 2018), sentinel node biopsy, infection near the affected vessels, and breast cancer (Wong et al 2017) are risk factors. Often no cause is apparent.…”
