Enfermedad de Mondor y mamoplastías / Mondor's disease and mammoplasty

Resumen Objetivo: Revisar la incidencia de esta enfermedad en pacientes sometidos a mamoplastías en una clínicaprivada en el período de 11 años, con el fin de describir sus síntomas y signos, diagnóstico, tratamiento y evolución. Materiales y Método: Se estudiaron 355 mujeres que se sometieron a mamoplastías estéticas. Se excluyó aquellas cirugías reconstructivas secundarias a cáncer de mama y aquellas con otros antecedentes oncológicos previos. La información fue recolectada de las fichas clínicas. Resultado: Se analizan 710 mamas operadas en el período 2008-2018, de las cuales seis mamas (6/710) evolucionaron con enfermedad de Mondor (0,8%). El diagnóstico se realizó clínicamente. Todos los casos recibieron terapia antiinflamatoria oral y local, respondiendo favorablemente. Discusión: Existe poca literatura publicada al respecto. Casos bilaterales son menos reportados. Pareciera asociarse con cirugías del surco submamario y no está claro que requiera curación terapéutica. Conclusiones: La enfermedad de Mondor es infrecuente, puede presentarse secundario a mamoplastías, es de diagnóstico clínico y sólo tratamiento sintomático con evolución satisfactoria sin secuelas.

Aim: Review the disease incidence in patients who had mammoplasties in a private clinic on a 11 year-period. The purpose is to describe their symptoms and signs, diagnosis, treatment and evolution. Materials and Method: 355 women who underwent cosmetic mammoplasties were studied. Those reconstructive surgeries secondary to breast cancer and those with other previous oncological history were excluded. The information was collected from clinical files. Results: 710 breasts operated between 2008-2018 are analyzed, six of them (6/710) evolved Mondor disease (0.8%). The diagnosis was made clinically. All cases received oral and local antiinflammatory therapy, responding favorably. Discussion: There is a few published literature about it. Bilateral cases are less reported. It appears to be associated with surgeries of the submammary sulcus and it is not clear that it requires therapeutic cure. Conclusions: Mondor's disease is infrequent, can occur secondary to mammoplasty, diagnosis is clinical, treatment is symptomatic, all cases had satisfactory evolution without sequelae.

Lifangitis esclerosante no venérea del pene. Presentación de 2 casos y revisión de la literatura / Non-venereal sclerosing lymphangitis of the penis. Cases presentation and literature review

La linfangitis esclerosante no venérea del pene es una lesión benigna, en la mayoría delos casos autolimitada, que afecta a los hombres en su periodo de mayor actividad sexual, entre los 20 y 45 años de edad aproximadamente, aunque puede presentarse fuera de este rango de edad.1­3 A pesar de que se han reportado casos desde hace más de 60 años, no se ha esclarecido del todo su fisiopatología, siendo la teoría más aceptada la relacionada con traumatismos locales repetidos por relaciones sexualesvigorosas y/o masturbación con obstrucción linfática superficial secundaria.

Non-venereal sclerosing lymphangitis of the penis is a benign lesion, in most cases self-limited, affecting men in their period of greatest sexual activity, between approximately 20 and 45 years of age, although it may occur outside this age range.1-3 Although cases have been reported for more than 60 years, their physiopathology has not been fully clarified, with the most accepted theory being that related to repeated local trauma due to vigorous sexual intercourse and/or masturbation with secondary superficial lymphatic obstruction.

Síndrome de Mondor, relato de caso e revisão da literatura / Mondor's Disease, case report and literature review

A síndrome de Mondor é uma tromboflebite das veias superficiais da mama, que pode levar também ao comprometimento do sistema linfático. É uma doença benigna, rara e autolimitada. JMC, 42 anos, foi submetida à cirurgia de lipoaspiração e mastopexia, evoluindo bem no pós operatório imediato e recente. A paciente parou o uso de anticoncepcionais há 5 anos e havia realizado duas cesárias prévias. A lipoaspiração foi realizada em flancos e abdome, com vibrolipoaspirador microaire; técnica tumesceste. Na cirurgia mamária com pedículo inferior não areolado, foi feita ressecção mínima de parênquima mamário no lado E (70 gr) para simetrização. Tempo cirúrgico: 3 horas, deambulando algumas horas depois da cirurgia. Medicações pós operatórias incluiram antibiótico profilático e analgésicos, que o paciente recebeu no dia seguinte à cirurgia. Compareceu a todos os retornos de pós-operatório, sem nenhuma intercorrência. Realizou 30 sessões de drenagem linfática e ultrassom, ao longo de 3 meses, e retornou as suas atividades laborais após 30 dias. Por volta de 6 meses após os procedimentos, retornou com queixa de dor e endurecimento na porção superior de hemiabdome E. Ao exame físico foi identificado aparecimento de cordão endurecido, doloroso quando realizava extensão do abdome, caracterizando a sindome de Mondor. Foi instituido terapêutica de calor local e massagem associado a antiinflamatório via oral, havendo regressão do quadro após 1 mês. O tratamento da doença de Mondor é conservador e sintomático. Calor local, repouso e analgésicos ajudam a diminuir a dor, sinal clinico característico do cordão fibroso formado em decorrência do processo tromboflebítico.

Mondor 's syndrome is a thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast, which may also lead to impairment of the lymphatic system. It is a benign disease, rare and self-limited. JMC, 42 years old, was submitted to liposuction and breast lift, doing well in the immediate and late postoperative period. The patient stopped using contraceptives for 5 years and went trough two previous caesarians. Liposuction was performed on the flanks and abdomen, with Microaire Vibroliposuction Machine; tumescent technical. In the breast surgery with inferior pedicle not areolate, minimal resection of breast parenchyma was made on the left side (70 g) for symmetrization. Surgery time: 3 hours, ambulating a few hours after surgery. Postoperative medication included prophylactic antibiotics and analgesics, which patient received the next day after surgery. The patient attended all postoperative returns without any problem. 30 sessions of lymphatic drainage and ultrasound were made over 3 months, and the patient returned to work activities after 30 days. Six months after the procedure, the patient returned complaining of pain and hardening in the upper portion of left hemi-abdomen. In the physical examination was identified a hardened cord appearance, painful when performed extension of the abdomen, featuring Mondor ' s syndrome. Was instituted local heat therapy and massage associated with oral anti-inflammatory, with regression of the condition after one month. The treatment of Mondor 's disease is conservative and symptomatic. Local heat, rest and analgesics help to relief the pain, which is a clinical sign of fibrous cord formed as a result of thrombophlebitis process.

Aborto séptico por Clostridium perfringens complicado con shock séptico / Septic abortion due to Clostridium perfringens complicated with septic shock

ANTECEDENTES: La sepsis por Clostridios es una entidad poco frecuente que conlleva una mortalidad del 8090% a pesar del tratamiento antibiótico y quirúrgico. A pesar de que la mayoría de los casos de septicemia secundaria a Clostridios se originan en el aparato genital femenino tras un aborto séptico, solo un pequeño porcentaje de abortos sépticos (1%) se siguen de septicemia. CASO CLÍNICO: Gestante de 15 semanas que acude a urgencias por rotura prematura de membranas pretérmino. Ante el deseo de la paciente se mantiene actitud conservadora con antibioterapia iv, produciéndose a las pocas horas el aborto de forma espontánea junto con aparición de signos de infección. Rápidamente la paciente evoluciona a sepsis grave, y ante la sospecha de aborto séptico se efectúa histerectomía. Tras la intervención ingresa en situación de shock séptico con insuficiencia renal, hepática y respiratoria. Durante el ingreso se confirma Clostridium perfringens como agente responsable del proceso séptico. Finalmente la paciente es dada de alta definitiva tras seis meses, una vez resueltas las alteraciones derivadas del proceso séptico.

BACKGROUND: Clostridial sepsis is a rare condition which carries a mortality of 80-90% despite antibiotic and surgical treatment. Although most cases of septicemia due to Clostridium are originated in female genital tract after septic abortion, only a small percentage of septic abortions (1%) are followed by septicemia. CLINICAL CASE: Our case is about a 15 weeks pregnant woman attended the emergency room for preterm premature rupture of membranes. Due to the desire of the patient we proceed conservative treatment with antibiotics iv, in the following few hours the abortion develops spontaneously along with signs of infection. Rapidly the patient progresses into a severe sepsis, due to suspected septic abortion, the patient is intervened urgently by hysterectomy. After the intervention she enters into septic shock state with respiratory, kidney and liver failure. During the admission Clostridium perfringens is confirmed as a causative agent for septic process. Finally the patient is discharge after six months once resolved all complications arising from septic process.

Mondor’s Disease.

Mondor’s disease is the chronic inflammation (thrombophlebitis) of superficial veins of thoracoabdominal or thoraco epigastric region. Very few cases have been reported so far. The causes are numerous and have been mentioned as trauma, inflammation of skin, following breast surgery in cancerous condition, excessive physical activity, compressive bandages, tight clothing, infections and benign or malignant breast tumours. In the present case there was chronic thrombophlebitis of lateral thoracic vein, which was observed on the right pectoral region in middle aged male cadaver. It appeared as a thick, bluish coloured, cord like structure, seen in place of lateral thoracic vessels. When traced proximally, it was opening into the right subclavian vein immediately deep to the right clavicle. Histopathological examination confirmed the vein which was showing destruction of tunica intima as in chronic inflammatory condition. The lumen showed presence of clot. The complication of Mondor’s disease may lead to the spread of inflammation to other regions, clot formation, detachment of the clot leading to thrombo embolism.

Tromboflebitis de Mondor del pene tras hernioplastia inguinal / Mondor's thrombophlebitis of the penis after inguinal hernioplasty

Paciente de 22 años de edad con antecedentes de salud. Hacía un mes se le había practicado una hernioplastia inguinal izquierda, y aproximadamente dos semanas después, comenzó a presentar aumento de volumen y dolor en el dorso del pene, tanto al tacto como con la erección. Al examen físico se constató, que la vena dorsal superficial del pene estaba aumentada de volumen, de color rojizo y dolorosa a la palpación. En el ultrasonido doppler-color peniano, se comprobó el engrosamiento de la pared de dicha vena, trombosis de esta, disminución del flujo sanguíneo, así como dolor al contacto del transductor. Se le indicó reposo sexual, tratamiento con antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y corticoides orales, además de iontoforesis local con pomada de heparina sódica. El paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente, con la desaparición del dolor y la recanalización de la vena dorsal del pene. La aparición de la tromboflebitis de Mondor del pene, con posterioridad a una hernioplastia inguinal, es excepcional. Su sospecha clínica más la confirmación con el ultrasonido doppler-color, son pilares básicos para el diagnóstico de certeza. El tratamiento conservador ofrece óptimos resultados.

A male patient aged 22 years with a history of health problems. One month before, he had undergone left inguinal hernioplasty, but two weeks after surgery, he began suffering pain in the back of the penis together with increased volume, both on touch and at erect state. The physical examination revealed that the superficial dorsal vein of the penis was more swollen, red-colored and painful on palpation. Doppler-color ultrasound of the penis confirmed thickening of the vein wall, thrombosis, lower blood flow and patient's feeling of pain when the transducer touched it. He was prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs plus oral corticosteroids, cessation of sexual intercourse, in addition to local ionphoresis with sodium heparin ointment. The patient's progression was satisfactory since pain disappeared and the dorsal vein of the penis was re-canalized. Mondor's thrombophlebitis of the penis rarely occurs after inguinal hernioplasty. Clinical suspicion plus Doppler-color US confirmation are basic pillars for a correct diagnosis. The conservative treatment offers optimal outcomes.

Introduction: Mondor's disease is a rare, benign, and self-limiting inflammatory condition that affects the thoracoabdominal vasculature. Among the several predisposing factors of this disease, breast surgery is one of the most frequent. Case Report: The aim of this work was to describe a typical case of Mondor's disease and to discuss treatment options based on a succinct literature review, so that unnecessary procedures can be avoided in the future.

Thrombophlebitis of the lateral chest wall (Mondor's disease).

Mondor's disease is a rare condition, which involves the thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall. A 37-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of local pain and edema on her right chest wall, accompanied by a longitudinal retraction of the skin during arm abduction in the area. Clinical, histological and ultrasonographic findings confirmed Mondor's disease and the treatment was symptomatic, using pain relievers and warm compresses. The symptomatology remitted within 2 weeks of therapy. Mondor's disease is a rare condition where ultrasound complements the clinical evaluation and allows the characterization of certain abnormalities, which correlated with functional biochemical data and other procedures may substitute the need of biopsy.

Enfermedad de Mondor / Mondor´s disease

La enfermedad de Mondor, es una entidad caracterizada por el desarrollo de tromboflebitis de venas subcutáneas. La localización más frecuente, es la cara ántero lateral de la pared torazo-abdominal. El cuadro clínico se caracteriza por la aparición de un cordón palpable, doloroso, que involuciona en un período de tiempo variable, generalmente corto. La patogenia no ha sido aclarada, pero se han identificado una serie de factores predisponentes como: cirugía mamaria, estados de hipercoagulabilidad, electrocución, infecciones, uso de drogas vasoconstrictoras, compresión de vasos sanguíneos y esfuerzos físicos intensos. La asociación descrita con patologías sistémicas, tales como el cáncer de mama y estados de hipercoagulabilidad, obliga a realizar una completa evaluación de los pacientes afectados, para descartar las mencionadas afecciones. Presentamos tres pacientes con enfermedad de Mondor, desencadenada luego de realizar esfuerzos físicos intensos.

Mondor's disease is an entity, characterized by the development of thrombophlebitis of subcutaneous veins. The most common location is theanterolateral aspect of the thoraco-abdominal wall. The clinical condition is characterized by the appearance of a painful palpable cord, which retrogresses in a generally brief, variable period of time. The pathogenesis has not been established, but it has been identified a number of predisposing causes such as breast surgery, hipercoagulables states, electrocution, infections, use of vasoconstrictors, compression of blood vessels and intense physical effort. Since it is associated with systemic diseases such as breast cancer and hipercoagulables states, it is required to conduct a complete evaluation of affected patients to rule out the above mentioned conditions. We present three patients with Mondor's disease, which was triggered as a result of intense physical effort.

Mondor's Disease after Operation for Axillary Osmidrosis: A Case Report

Mondor's disease is a benign, self-limited process with spontaneous resolution, which is frequently caused by breast surgery, such as axillary lymph node dissection. We present a case of Mondor's disease that occurred after an axillary osmidrosis operation, which is a less invasive procedure; Mondor's disease may be considered as a possible postoperative complication following an axillary osmidrosis surgery.

Mondor’s Disease

A Mondor’s disease is a rare, benign and self-limiting condition. It is due to thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and chest wall. It usually occurs in middle-aged women who present with a palpable cordlike structure, often painful in the acute phase. The aetiology is unknown, and may be related to trauma, surgery, infection or tight clothing. The finding of a superficial vessel seen as a linear opacity on mammography and a tubular structure on ultrasound is typical. An intra-luminal thrombus may be seen on ultrasound, and there may be absent flow on Doppler imaging. Conservative treatment is usually instituted, although surgery may be indicated in certain circumstances.

Mondor's Disease after Bilateral Mastectomy in Both Breast Paraffinoma Patient

PURPOSE: Mondor's disease is a rare benign condition which involves thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast and anterior chest wall after breast surgery, breast tissue biopsy, inflammatory reaction, breast cancer, trauma. The affected veins include the lateral thoracic, axillary veins, thoracoepigastric veins and superior epigastric veins. METHODS: A 49-year-old woman presented to the outpatient department with complaints of the sudden appearance of a subcutaneous cord just under the skin at left lower lateral abdominal wall 1 month later of bilateral mastectomy due to both severe breast paraffinoma. The cord was initially red and tender and subsequently became a painless, tough, fibrous band that was accompanied by tension and skin retraction. RESULTS: On ultrasonographic findings, palpable threadlike structures at both lateral superficial abdominal wall after bilateral mastectomy were noted. Superficial short elongated hypoechoic tubular structures were noted just under the skin at palpable lower lateral abdominal wall. It was compatible to Mondor's disease of thoracoepigastric vein. CONCLUSION: The increase in breast surgery will give rise to the increase in the frequency of Mondor's disease clinically. Mondor's disease can be diagnosed with clinical symptoms and image findings and the disease has proved to be benign and self-limited.

Doença de Mondor / Mondor's disease

A doença de Mondor é entidade rara e de natureza benigna que se caracteriza pela tromboflebite de veias superficiais da mama, podendo também acometer, com menor frequência, outros sítios anatômicos. A doença é autolimitada e de fisiopatologia ainda não totalmente conhecida. Apesar de benigna, há relatos na literatura da sua associação com câncer de mama. Manifesta-se clinicamente como cordão fibroso e doloroso no subcutâneo que corresponde ao trajeto venoso comprometido. O diagnóstico é basicamente clínico, mas a avaliação mamográfica se faz necessária para afastar malignidade associada. Na sua forma típica, quando não se tem a suspeita de doença maligna, o tratamento deve ser feito com analgésicos e anti-inflamatórios. O conhecimento dessa afecção é importante para evitar erros diagnósticos e impedir a realização e procedimentos invasivos desnecessários.

Mondor’s disease is a rare condition and a benign breast disease in which a thrombophlebitis of superficial veins occurs, usually in the breast, and more rarely in others anatomic sites. The condition is self-limited and the physiopathology is still not clear. Although Mondor’s disease is a benign breast disease, has been reported in the literature association with breast cancer. The clinical feature is a painfull and fibrous lesion cordlike in subcutaneous that corresponds to the involved vein. The diagnostic is clinical, but the mammograms are necessary to show association with breast cancer. In the tipical form, when is not suspected malign disease, the treatment could be mode with analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Knowledge of this condition is important to avoid diagnostic mistakes and unnecessary invasive procedures

Mondor's Disease in Antecubital Area

Mondor's disease is also called thrombophlebitis and it is not a common condition. The characteristics finding of Mondor's disease is a subcutaneous cord that is tender and tense. This disease commonly occurs in the breast and abdomen. The etiology of Mondor's disease is unknown, but the generally agreed on causes are trauma, excessive exercise and breast surgery. On rare occasions, this disease is related to malignancy, pregnancy, filariasis and so on. This disease is self limiting and it is usually treated conservatively and symptomatically. We treated one woman who had Mondor's disease on the anterior side of the left elbow. This is a very rare location for Mondor's disease and so clinicians need to be aware about the possibility of this unusual presentation for this disease.
