The Breast
Published in E. George Elias, CRC Handbook of Surgical Oncology, 2020
The breast is covered by skin that is liable to have skin related diseases, such as nevi, papillomata, infections, etc. These are related to the skin of the breast rather than to the breast itself. Care should be taken not to confuse Paget’s disease of the nipple with eczema as occasionally these may have similar appearances. Mondor’s disease is a benign condition in which one of the superficial veins located in the s.c. tissue of the breast becomes thrombosed. On physical examination there is a tender mass that looks like a vein. It is a self-limiting condition that will subside in 2 to 3 weeks with warm or cold compresses.

Mondor’s disease is defined as thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric vein of the breast and chest wall. It can be associated with breast carcinoma or hypercoaguable state, although cases have been reported with no identifiable cause.21 Recently, the term has also been applied to SVT of the dorsal vein of the penis.22
The Heart (HT)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
Thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric system of veins, also known as “Mondor’s disease,” affects women following breast cancer surgery with excision of the left axillary lymph nodes. It also occurs in women after breast augmentation following reactive hyperplasia of the axillary lymph nodes. This may be misdiagnosed as silicoadenitis. Although Mondor’s disease most commonly appears below or on the lateral aspect of the breast (from SP 17 to SP 20), it also affects veins in the axilla.
Could Penile Mondor’s Disease Worsen Symptoms in Patients with Erectile Dysfunction?
Published in Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2022
The etiology of Mondor’s disease is unknown. One of the most common causes is prolonged sexual intercourse, which is defined as an intravaginal ejaculatory latency time of 10-30 min [4]. However, conditions such as penile injections, direct trauma to the penis, prolonged abstinence periods, other venous thromboses, cancer, infection, previous surgical hernia repair, and deficiency of S and C proteins or antithrombin III have been associated with PMD [5].

Thrombosis of the superficial venous network of the penis (Mondor’s disease) is of moderate symptomatology and may be secondary to trauma, vasculitis, hypercoagulable state, or malignancy [7,8]. Deep network involvement can lead to penile pain, priapism, and even ischemia of the corpora cavernosa. The few cases reported in the literature were secondary to COVID-19 infection, prostate abscess, or factor VIIIa hypercoagulation [5,9,10].

Mondor’s disease (MD) is an uncommon and self-limiting clinical condition characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall causing the sudden onset of chest pain and palpable subcutaneous cords [1,2].
