Mondor Disease

Initially described in 1939 by Henri Mondor, Mondor Disease classically describes a syndrome of sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins of the anterior thoracic wall. The most commonly involved vessel is the superior epigastric vein producing a palpable cord in the inferior outer quadrant of the breast . Also known as Mondor\u27s Cord, this rare clinical entity has also been reported as affecting the superficial penile veins . Fage is credited with first describing cording as a sign of superficial thrombophlebitis in 1870
