| Sumario: | The Mondor's disease, or phlebitis of the thoracoepigastric vein, is self-restricted and clinically manifested by local pain associated with a tender, palpable, subcutaneous cord. It can be secondary to a local trauma, surgery, inflamatory processes or even to a breast cancer. Mammography and/or ultrasound should be carried out in women with this diagnosis who are age 35 or older to exclude the possibility of a nonpalpable breast cancer. Even though the disease not necessarily has to be associated to another event, twenty-five percent are associated with a subjacent neoplasia. We reported here a case of Mondor's disease secondary to an infra-mammary Herpes Zoster. The disease is rare on clinical practice and the physician must be aware of this rare diagnosis. In this case, the finding associated to herpetic lesions made it even more curious and special. |
