| Popis: | Mondor's disease is a rare benign and self-limiting condition characterized by thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall. We describe a case of Mondor's disease of the breast as a complication of an ultrasound-guided core needle biospy. The patient presented with a palpable cord-like structure in her left breast, associated with severe pain and tenderness. She was treated concervatively and complete resolution was observed after four weeks. We conclude that emergency clinicians and interventional breast radiologists should be aware of Mondor's disease as a potential complication of ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the breast. |
