• The pain was associated with a tender, palpable, cord-like mass.

• He denied any trauma, but did report doing pushups everyday for the past few years.

INTRODUCTION

CASE PRESENTATION

DISCUSSION

CONCLUSION

• Muscular strain has been associated with Mondor’s disease in rare case reports.

• This entity may be more common in the military and retiree population because of intense muscular chest exercise

• Recognition and accurate diagnosis of this benign disorder by Family Physicians are important to avoid unnecessary diagnostic and treatment modalities.

• Mondor’s disease is a rare entity with fewer than 400 cases described worldwide.

• Female/male ratio of 3:1.• Etiology is unclear, but often associated

with trauma, often breast biopsy or surgery• Diagnosis is made by history and physical

–Mammograms, biopsies, and other diagnostic modalities are usually not indicated.

• Benign and self-limited; no treatment needed

• This case was atypical because the patient’s Mondor’s disease was most likely due to chronic chest exercise (daily pushups).

Mondor’s disease is a rare form ofthrombophlebitis involving a superficial vein of the breast or anterior chest wall, most commonly seen in women, and is associated with local trauma
