Özet: Mondor's disease, sclerosing thrombophlebitis of superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. It was first described by Henri Mondor in 1939. Antibiotics, steroids, anticoagulants were used in the treatment, but no significant benefit was found. Symptomatic measures are sufficient for treatment. Mondor's disease is a self-limiting benign disease. Between 3 weeks and 6 months there is an improvement. Careful research should be done in these cases as there may be occult cancers in other regions. In this case, we aimed to discuss breast disease which is a rare phenomenon with the ultrasound images of Mondor’s disease to indicate the importance of ultrasound in diagnosis and follow-up.
