Abstract:
Mondor's disease is a uncommon disorder characterized by superficial thrombophlbitis, classically of thoracoabdominal wall. In about 50%-60% of cases, the cause is not determined, whereas in the others it is due to primary or secondary hypercoagulation requiring careful investigation. A 30-year- old woman presented a cord-like tender subcutaneous lesion on the left thoracoabdominal wall and histologic finding reveals thrombophlebitis. We found no evidence for primary and secondary hypercoagulable states.
