ABSTRACT

Mondor´s disease is a rare entity of unknown aetiology with few descriptions in literature. It is characterized by the appearance of a palpable cord-like structure in the breast and/or in the anterior wall of the chest corresponding to superficial thrombophlebitis of a vein at this level.
Normally, it has a self-limited course that leads to healing in a few weeks or months.
We describe herein the case of a 50-year-old woman presenting this pathology in an uncommon localization: the axilla.
