Mondor disease is a rare condition which involves thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall. It sometimes occurs in the arm or penis.[2] Often there is abrupt onset of superficial pain, with possible swelling and redness of a limited area of the anterior chest wall or breast. There is usually a lump present, which may be somewhat linear and tender. A mammogram or breast ultrasound may be done to rule out other causes.[3]

A cause is often not identified, but may include trauma, surgery, or inflammation such as infection. There have been cases associated with cancer.[4]

Management is with warm compresses and pain relievers, most commonly NSAIDS such as ibuprofen. Mondor disease is self-limiting and generally benign.

Male to female ratio is around 1:3.[2] It is named after Henri Mondor (1885–1962), a surgeon in Paris, France who first described the disease in 1939.[5]
