Mondor's disease or thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast is a rare benign condition and a self-limiting disease. The combination of the clinical manifestations and the imaging (mammographic & sonographic) findings is the typical sign of Mondor's disease of the breast. Therefore, an understanding of such an entity and knowledge of the clinical and imaging findings will make it possible to avoid the unnecessary biopsy or surgery. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman diagnosing as Mondor's diasease, who underwent evaluation of a tender, papable cord- like mass in her left breast associated with discoloration of the overlying skin.

유방의 표재성 혈전정맥염을 일컫는 Mondor병은 드물게 발생하고, 임상증상 및 영상소견으로 정확한 진단이 가능하며, 치료가 필요없는 자가치료질환이다. 따라서 Mondor병의 특징적인 임상증상 및 영상소견을 숙지한다면, 진단 및 치료를 위한 불필요한 추가적인 조직검사나 수술을 피할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 저자들은 좌측 유방에 피부변색과 압통을 동반한 끈모양의 촉지성 병변을 주소로 내원한 53세 여자 환자에서 Mondor병으로 진단하여 유방촬영 및 유방초음파로 확진한 후 특별한 치료 없이 6주 후 추적관찰에서 증상의 소실을 확인하였던 1예를 보고하고자 한다.
