"Mondor disease was initially described by Henri Mondor (1885-1962) in 1939 as "sclerosing thrombophlebitis of the subcutaneous veins of the anterior chest wall"."
"Colour Doppler ultrasonography is the modality of choice for diagnosis. The diagnosis is considered if there is non-compressibility of the dorsal vein indicating thrombosis. Internal echogenicity varies according to the age of the thrombus; acute thrombus may be anechoic while subacute cases usually show a hyperechoic heterogeneous appearance. No flow is present inside the vein on colour or spectral Doppler studies."
"Mondor disease is a benign, self-limiting condition. Treatment is the same as for superficial venous thrombosis, including applying a local warm dressing and administering anti-inflammatory drugs like NSAIDs, antibiotics and low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) 1,7. Symptoms usually resolve after 6-8 weeks of treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs. Direct oral anticoagulants can be tried in cases not responding to LMWH 7. Surgery with thrombectomy and resection can be performed for refractory cases 5."
