Surgical management of penile mondor’s disease: Case report and brief review of literature

Abstract

Penile Mondor’s disease (PMD) is a rare condition characterized by thrombosis of superficial dorsal vein of the penis. PMD is usually
caused due to vigorous sex or repeated trauma to the penis leading to painful swelling of the penis. Most of the patients improve
gradually on conservative treatment. Very rarely cord like lesion persists and causes painful erection and intercourse, meriting surgical
management. Here, we report the case of a traumatic Thrombophlebitis of Superficial Dorsal Vein of Penis managed surgically along
with a brief explanation of the surgical technique. Color Doppler was helpful in delineating the whole extent of thrombus in the
vein. Excision of the whole length of the thrombosed vein was done. Abstinence from sex was advised for six weeks and the patient
improved symptomatically.
