Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mondor’s disease is also called thrombophlebitis and it is not a common condition. The characteristics finding of Mondor’s disease is a subcutaneous cord that is tender and tense. This disease commonly occurs in the breast and abdomen. The etiology of Mondor’s disease is unknown, but the generally agreed on causes are trauma, excessive exercise and breast surgery. On rare occasions, this disease is related to malignancy, pregnancy, filariasis and so on. This disease is self limiting and it is usually treated conservatively and symptomatically. We treated one woman who had Mondor’s disease on the anterior side of the left elbow. This is a very rare location for Mondor’s disease and so clinicians need to be aware about the possibility of this unusual presentation for this disease. (J Korean Surg Soc 2006;71:149-151)
