Superficial thrombophlebitis as seen by ultrasound[1]
Superficial thrombophlebitis is a thrombosis and inflammation of superficial veins presenting as a painful induration (thickening) with erythema, often in a linear or branching configuration with a cordlike appearance.[2]: 826–7 [3]
Superficial thrombophlebitis is due to inflammation and/or thrombosis, and,less commonly, infection of the vein. It is generally a benign, self-limiting disorder; however, it can be complicated by deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and even pulmonary embolism (PE)[4] Migratory superficial thrombophlebitis is known as Trousseau's syndrome, which can be an early sign of cancer.[5]
When it (rarely) occurs on the breast or anterior chest wall it has been called Mondor's disease. It sometimes occurs in the arm or penis.[2]: 827 [6] In axilla, this condition is known as axillary web syndrome.[7][8]
