Although the disease has been described for a century, very few descriptions in literature are available. This is due to a lack of awareness among treating physicians about the disease entity as well as the self-limiting course of the disease. Patients usually present with a painful lesion in the lateral thoracic wall or as a palpable cord in the late resolving stages. The disease usually resolves with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and supportive therapy. Few patients with symptomatic tender cords require surgical excision or release. Recent studies have noted association with breast cancer, and an increase in incidence was noted in the COVID-19 pandemic. We report a woman in her 40s who presented with a band in her right lateral chest wall for 6 months and was diagnosed with MD. She underwent an excision and is currently symptom free.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2024-261801","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,18]],"date-time":"2024-12-18T10:02:10Z","timestamp":1734516130000},"page":"e261801","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mondor disease"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9838-3954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nandakumar","family":"B M","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bharati","family":"Hiremath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harshinie","family":"Vinaya Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, MS Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.1","first-page":"1271","article-title":"Tronculite sous-cutan\u00e9 subaigue de la paroi thoracique antero-laterale","volume":"65","author":"Mondor","year":"1939","journal-title":"Mem Acad Chir"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1962.03050150009002"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"305","DOI":"10.1016\/j.breast.2022.11.006","article-title":"Mondor\u2019s disease of the breast: A cutaneous thromboembolic manifestation of Covid-19?","volume":"66","author":"Renshaw","year":"2022","journal-title":"Breast"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2607","DOI":"10.2169\/internalmedicine.0495-17","article-title":"Mondor\u2019s Disease: A Review of the Literature","volume":"57","author":"Amano","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int Med"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1177\/1179547620972414","article-title":"Superficial Thrombophlebitis of the Breast (Mondor\u2019s Disease): An Uncommon Localization of Common Disease","volume":"13","author":"Obradovic","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clin Med Insights Case Rep"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"927","DOI":"10.1007\/s00266-019-01331-7","article-title":"Trauma on a Recently Augmented Breast as a Trigger for Mondor\u2019s Disease","volume":"43","author":"Yordanov","year":"2019","journal-title":"Aesthet Plast Surg"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"905","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(03)02465-4","article-title":"Mondor\u2019s disease: a rare cause of anterior chest pain","volume":"49","author":"Dirschka","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Am Acad Dermatol"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.asj.2009.01.019"},{"key":"2025082712555812000_17.12.e261801.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e275","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2014.05.059","article-title":"Mondor\u2019s disease after implant-based breast reconstruction.
