Mondor’s disease after extensive training with Nordic walking
5 Apr 2025
We here present a case of a 59-year-old man with Mondor’s disease, thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. This occurred after the patient had initiated extensive training with walking poles - Nordic walking, probably predisposing to the thrombosis. Underlying disease was ruled out, and the treatment was symptomatic. Physicians should
be aware of this condition in patients performing extensive upper body workout. The medical history is important, and new strenuous physical activities should be taken into account while evaluating superficial thromboembolism. Treatment should be symptomatic and brief omission of the activity resulting in Mondor’s disease.
