“…Venous Doppler ultrasound is normal in NVSL, but increased echogenicity and incompressible veins are observed in PMD. Sclerosis and hypertrophy of the lymphatic vessels are observed in histopathology examination of NVSL, whereas obstruction of the lumen of the vein is observed in microscopic sections of PMD 9,10 . NVSL is a benign disease and lesions regress spontaneously.…”

“…The histologic changes are limited to a subcutaneous vein showing thrombosis and organisation, in the healing stage, connective tissue proliferation occurs in the vessel, resulting in the formation of a hard cord. 3,6 Thus the lesion was indistinguishable from the surrounding tissue, although it was palpable. Doppler ultrasonographic evidence of superficial dorsal vein thrombosis is diagnostic for penile Mondor's disease.…”

“…Although the lesions are typically asymptomatic, some patients experience pain or discomfort, especially on palpation or during twisting and stretching movements [3]. Clinically, patients describe a feeling of tension in the area of the thrombosis that usually occur in the dorsal penis shaft, close to the sulcus coronarius, near the penis root or in the entire penis shaft [4]. We describe the symptoms, the sonographic findings and treatment of this disease in a 26-year-old male with superficial thrombophlebitis of the dorsal vein of the penis.…”

Penile Mondor's disease (superficial thrombophlebitis of the penis dorsal vein) is an uncommon and benign pathology that affects sexually active men. Although the diagnosis is made by physical examination in most patients, sonography may be required in some cases. Color-Doppler ultrasonography clearly visualizes dorsal vein thrombosis and the associated hemodynamic alterations. We describe the symptoms, the sonographic findings and treatment of this disease in a 26-year-old male with superficial thrombophlebitis of the penis dorsal vein.Riassunto La malattia di Mondor a livello del pene (tromboflebite della vena dorsale superficiale del pene) rappresenta una patologia non comune a carattere benigno che interessa gli uomini sessualmente attivi. Anche se la diagnosi viene fatta la maggior parte dei pazienti con l'esame obiettivo, l'ecografia viene molto spesso richiesta in aiuto in alcuni casi. L'eco Color-Doppler visualizza in maniera chiara la trombosi venosa dorsale e le alterazioni emodinamiche ad essa associate. Riportiamo la sintomatologia, i risultati ecografici e il trattamento di questa patologia in un ragazzo di 26 anni affetto da tromboflebite superficiale della vena dorsale del pene.
