A rare cause of breast pain is Mondor\u2019s disease (MD), which can present as an acute, painful, erythematous, cord-like induration on the breast or anterior chest wall. The disorder is caused by sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall veins. There does not appear to be a racial or ethnic propensity for this condition; however, it is important to understand that it may be more difficult to see in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI) and requires close attention on physical exam. The cause of MD is poorly understood but may be related to direct trauma, strenuous exercise, or hormone changes. We review a case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with an anterior chest wall palpable cord, better visualized with adequate lighting and skin traction, ultimately diagnosed as MD based on clinical findings and imaging studies. Mondor\u2019s disease often resolves spontaneously with supportive care, as in this patient\u2019s case; however, clinicians should be aware of this rare cause of breast pain and its association with hypercoagulable state, vasculitis, and breast cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23247096241246621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]],"date-time":"2024-04-12T04:40:21Z","timestamp":1712896821000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Breast Pain Differential: Mondor\u2019s Disease of the Breast"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8580-471X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"LaRae L.","family":"Seemann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tina","family":"Ardon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca A.","family":"Bowie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3105-2519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kati C.","family":"Bullock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Jacksonville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrianna D.
