title: Mondor's disease of the penis.
abstract: Mondor's disease of the penis has been reported after genital trauma such as stretching and torsion of the veins and can cause endothelial necrosis and thrombosis. We report a 35-year-old male with thrombosis of the penile superficial dorsal vein who did not respond to topical drug therapy. Surgical management, e.g. superficial vein resection, is the most effective therapy in refractory cases for relieving pain, diminishing skin induration and producing esthetically pleasing results.
