    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Mondor's disease is a rare condition characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis.
    • It primarily affects the veins of the breast and anterior thoracic wall.

    Observation:

    • Four patients diagnosed with Mondor's disease presented with varied initial clinical suspicions.
    • Two patients were initially suspected of having breast carcinoma.
    • Two patients were initially suspected of having a helminthic infection.

    Findings:

    • Mondor's disease involves the formation of a thrombus in superficial veins.
    • The condition is benign and self-limiting, despite initial concerns for malignancy or infection.
    • Clinical presentation, pathological findings, and etiology are detailed.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of Mondor's disease is crucial to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatments for suspected malignancy or infection.
    • Understanding the etiology aids in appropriate patient management.
    • Awareness among clinicians can improve diagnostic accuracy for this rare condition.
