Abstract
- Mondor's disease, thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous veins, is an uncommon condition. It has clinical features of sudden development of localized pain to be followed by a palpable and visible tender, linear, branching cutaneous groove. The patient was a 43-year-old man who showed two cord like tender subcutaneous grooves on the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. He had done vigorous weightlifting for one month prior to his visit. Histopathologic finding showed occlusion of vessels by organized thrombus.
