Abstract
- Mondor's disease is an uncommon superficial thrombophlebitis, usually of thracoabdominal wall. The exact cause is unclear, but it is suggested that the trauma, strenous exercise, breast surgery are often associated. Clinically, it is characterized by a palpable, tender, linear cutaneous groove and it is always almost unilateral. We report a case of bilateral Mondor's disease. 49 year old female presented a cord like subcutaneous lesion on right thoracoabdomial wall. She had a history of strenous exercise for several weeks. Histologic exam reveals thrombophlebitis. A week later, the patient had another same linear subcutaeous lesion on left abdomen.
