Mondor's disease, or superficial thrombophlebitis of the breast, is an uncommon condition. It has been associated with benign causes including direct trauma, operative trauma, extensive physical activity ,and rarely with breast carcinoma. The disease is usually self-limiting. Mammographic and sonographic findings of two cases of Mondor's disease are presented. Familiarity with this condition will help to avoid unnecessary biopsy.
