Abstract:

 

Mondor's disease, sclerosing thrombophlebitis of superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. It was first described by Henri Mondor in 1939. Antibiotics, steroids, anticoagulants were used in the treatment, but no significant benefit was found. Symptomatic measures are sufficient for treatment. Mondor's disease is a self-limiting benign disease. Between 3 weeks and 6 months there is an improvement. Careful research should be done in these cases as there may be occult cancers in other regions. In this case, we aimed to discuss breast disease which is a rare phenomenon with the ultrasound images of Mondor’s disease to indicate the importance of ultrasound in diagnosis and follow-up.

 


Mondor hastalığı ön göğüs duvarı ve meme yüzeyel venlerinin sklerozan tromboflebitidir. İlk kez 1939 yılında Henri Mondor tarafından tanımlanmıştır. Tedavisinde antibiyotikler, steroidler antikoagülanlar kullanılmıştır fakat belirgin faydası gösterilememiştir. Tedavisi semptomatiktir. Mondor hastalığı kendisini sınırlandıran benign bir hastalıktır. İyileşme 3 hafta ve 6 ay arasında gerçekleşir. Bu vakalarda memenin diğer bölgelerine ve eşlik edebilecek kanser ihtimaline karşı dikkatli bir araştırma yapılmalıdır. Bu vakada nadir bir meme hastalığı olan Mondor hastalığının tanısı ve takibinde ultrasonun önemini, hastanın ultrason bulguları ile tartışmayı amaçladık.
