Mondor's disease is a rare, peculiar form of superficial thrombophlebitis which mainly affects the subcutaneous veins of the breast, anterior chest wall, neck, axilla, upper limbs and penis. In most cases, it presents with rapid development of a painful subcutaneous cord-like structure that later becomes less painful, but a fibrous band persists. Unfortunately, aetiology and management are not very clear, but it is a self-limiting condition in most cases. We are presenting a rare case of a patient who developed Mondor's disease in the antecubital fossa of the right arm following chemotherapy for breast cancer.
蒙多氏病是一种罕见的、特殊类型的浅静脉血栓性静脉炎,主要累及乳房、前胸壁、颈部、腋窝、上肢和阴茎的皮下静脉。在大多数情况下,其表现为皮下迅速出现疼痛性条索状结构,随后疼痛减轻,但纤维带持续存在。遗憾的是,病因和治疗方法尚不完全明确,但在大多数情况下它是一种自限性疾病。我们报告一例罕见病例,该患者在乳腺癌化疗后右侧手臂肘前窝发生了蒙多氏病。
