Abstract Background: Mondor's disease of the breast or superficial thrombophlebitis of the breast is a rare benign breast entity, may be due to lack of awareness of the entity. Aim of Work: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the mammographic and sonographic findings in patients with Mondor's disease of the breast. Material and Methods: 10 patients (9 females and 1 male) presented with a painful palpable cordlike structure. The youngest patient was 29 years old and the oldest patient is 64 years old. All patients were evaluated by Ultrasound. Mam-mography only was performed on 6 patients. Mammographic and sonographic findings were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The sonographic finding of a superficial vessel without flow on Doppler imaging in addition to a mammo-graphic finding of a tubular density are diagnostic of Mondor's disease of the breast. Being familiar with the imaging findings of Mondor's disease will help its diagnosis & avoiding the pitfall of mistaking it for a dilated duct. Conclusion: The clinical presentation together with sono-mammographic findings are useful in diagnosing Mondor's disease. Being familiar with these radiologic features prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.
