ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Mondor's disease is a superficial thrombophlebitis and usually occurs in the anterior and lateral chest. The scrotal vein thrombosis is a fairly rare disease. METHODS: Thirty-four year old male who consulted for inguinal tumor and pain in the postoperative period of an umbilical hernia repair, which resulted in a subsequent scrotal vein thrombosis treated conservatively. RESULTS: It was resolved with conservative treatment, with recanalization of the scrotal veins. CONCLUSION: Mondor's disease is a rare entity, related to multiple etiological factors. The diagnosis is made easily with Doppler ultrasound and most resolve with conservative treatment.

OBJETIVO: La enfermedad de Mondor es una tromboflebitis superficial que suele darse en la cara anterior y lateral del tórax. La trombosis de las venas escrotales es una patología bastante infrecuente. MÉTODOS: Paciente varón de 34 años de edad que consultó por molestias y sensación de bulto en la ingle en el postoperatorio de una herniorrafia umbilical, que resultó en una trombosis de las venas escrotales posteriores tratado de forma conservadora. RESULTADOS: Se resolvió con tratamiento conservador, con recanalización de las venas escrotales. CONCLUSIÓN: La enfermedad de Mondor es una entidad muy poco frecuente, relacionada con múltiples factores etiológicos cuyo diagnóstico se realiza fácilmente con ecodoppler y que en su mayoría se resuelve con tratamiento conservador (AU)
