[Mondor's disease and breast plastic surgery]

Mondor's disease is a rare complication following breast plastic surgery.

We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with breast shape and volume asymmetry. She was treated by left breast submuscular prothesis augmentation followed by right breast mastopexy 6 months later. Following this surgery, she presented with subcutaneous painful abdominal cords on the right side or Mondor's disease.

We discuss the diagnosis, physiopathology and treatment of this disease in the light of scientific literature. The physiopathology is based on fascial origin in a context of local vascularitis.

Mondor's disease is a rare but benign pathology following breast plastic surgery. The treatment is symptomatic and the surgeon must reassure the patient on the benignity and the lack of consequence on the final cosmetic result.
