OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mammographic and sonographic findings in patients with Mondor's disease of the breast.

CONCLUSION. The combination of a sonographic finding of a superficial vessel—with or without an intraluminal thrombus and without flow on Doppler imaging—and a mammographic finding of a tubular density is the typical sign of Mondor's disease of the breast. Women present with a palpable cordlike structure, which is often painful, especially in the acute phase of thrombophlebitis. An understanding of such an entity and knowledge of the imaging findings will help breast imagers avoid the pitfall of mistaking this finding for a dilated duct.
