[Superficial venous thrombosis of the penis: penile Mondor's disease? A case report and literature review].

Mondor's disease is a rare cause of superficial thrombophlebitis, which is very exceptionally observed in the penis. Usually a benign condition, careful etiological search is needed to avoid missing exceptional causes. Mondor's disease is generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low-molecular-weight heparin and resolves without sequelae. Mondor's disease and superficial venous thrombosis of the penis may or may not be a unique clinical entity. A favorable outcome with no precise etiology would favor penile Mondor's disease.
