Mondor reported the first superficial venous thrombosis on the chest wall in 1939. This condition is usually a benign and self-limited process, requiring only symptomatic treatment. Mondor's disease of the penis is an uncommon condition, which usually involves the superficial dorsal veins, it was first described by Braun-Falco in 1955. Isolated superficial dorsal vein-thrombosis was reported in 1958 by Helm et al. Since then around fifty cases have been reported. Patients experience a cord or string-like induration along the penile superficial dorsal vein, which is often painful and accompanied by localized inflammatory changes. This condition is benign and self-limited in most patients with complete resolution after 6 to 8 weeks of conservative management although sometimes surgery is indicated when it is associated with chronic or severe local pain.
