Mondor’s Disease of the Penis Mistaken for Penile Fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Superficial thrombophlebitis of the dorsal vein of the penis, known as penile Mondor’s disease, is an uncommon genital disease. We report on a healthy 44-year-old man who presented with painful penile swelling, ecchymosis, and penile deviation after masturbation, which initially imitated a penile fracture. Thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis without rupture of corpus cavernosum was found during surgical exploration. The patient recovered without erectile dysfunction.
