“…[3][4][5][6] This activity may induce stretching or 7 Other precipitants include trauma to the genitals such as penile strangulation or injection, presence of a pelvic tumour or distended bladder, sepsis, inguinal hernia repair, deep vein thrombosis, prolonged abstinence, and contact with menstrual blood, possibly acting as an irritant. 3,4,8,9 The diagnosis is usually based on clinical findings, but Doppler ultrasound can be useful in cases of diagnostic uncertainty, where it may reveal a non-compressible distended vein. 2 The patient need not require further investigation unless clinically indicated.…”

Mondor's disease of the penis, otherwise known as superficial thrombophlebitis (STP) or thrombosis of the dorsal vein, is an under-reported benign condition, the aetiology of which is poorly understood. It is characterized by a sudden, indurated swelling of the vein, often occurring after vigorous sexual activity. We report a case of Mondor's disease occurring 24 h following a 15-h flight. This gentleman also reported a history of STP of his left lower limb varicose veins following a similar-length flight three years previously. In the absence of any other clear predisposing factor, we propose long-haul flight as an important factor contributing to the development of dorsal vein thrombosis.

“…Excision biopsies have been performed in four cases (Nickel and Plumb, 1962;Kandil and Al-Kashlan, 1970;Lassus and others, 1972;Stolz and others, 1975), and in all cases only minimal inflammatory reaction in the form of infiltration with lymphocytes was noted. The most striking histological feature was oedematous thickening of the lymphatic vessel wall.…”

“…For almost 25 years after the publication of these papers, no further cases were reported in the literature. Nickel and Plumb (1962) then described four cases, using the title 'non-venereal sclerosing lymphangitis of penis'. This terminology has been used in most subequent case reports (Shigematsu, Kuribayashi, and Minei, 1965;Boyd, 1970;Kandil and Al-Kashlan, 1970;Lassus, Niemi, Valle, and Kiistala, 1972;Greenberg and Perry, 1972;Stolz, van Kampen, and Vuzevski, 1975;Fiumara, 1975).…”
