“…Superficial thrombophlebitis is one of the most significant complications of superficial vein thrombosis, with an incidence of about one per 1000, 1 which may lead to peripheral artery disease, 2 superficial calcification, 3 and/or pulmonary embolism. 4 Rapid imaging and mapping with high resolution of the superficial vasculature is particularly important for accurate diagnosis so as to carry out treatment as soon as possible. To confirm the diagnosis, numerous advanced instruments, including duplex ultrasound, 5 optical frequency domain imaging, 6 positron emission tomography (PET), and computed tomography (CT) angiography, 7 are often used in clinical diagnosis.…”

“…Multifocal migratory superficial thrombophlebitis is a relatively rare clinical manifestation and generally not an entity per se. The differential diagnosis is broad and includes malignancy (mainly as a paraneoplastic syndrome), infections (septic thrombophlebitis, human immunodeficiency virus, and syphilis), inflammatory bowel disease, Buerger Disease, and various hypercoagulable conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Among primary systemic vasculitides, Behçet syndrome represents the most frequent vasculitis associated with vein inflammation, including superficial thrombophlebitis [8].…”

Rare co-existance of disease or pathology Background: Multifocal superficial thrombophlebitis is a rare clinical manifestation with wide differential diagnosis in relation to the background disease. Case Report: Here we report on 2 patients who presented with a systemic inflammatory response, multifocal thrombophlebitis, and orbital inflammation in whom a diagnosis of a defined background disease could not be established. Conclusions: The clinical pattern of our 2 cases might represent a distinctive, not yet defined systemic medical condition.

“…Mondor’s disease in IBD has been infrequently reported and occurs in the setting of disease flare. 2,3 The use of anticoagulation and the duration in the setting of IBD-related Mondor’s disease are unclear, although most admitted patients with a flare of IBD are candidates for prophylactic anticoagulation.…”

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is recognised to be a prothrombotic state and an increased risk of venous thrombosis has been documented with IBD. However, reports of superficial venous thrombosis are less common, and there is a degree of uncertainty in the appropriate management of such patients. We report about a 55-year-old lady who presented with a flare of ulcerative colitis when cyclosporine (started for a previous episode of acute severe ulcerative colitis) was stopped. This flare was associated with the appearance of cord-like structures on the right lateral abdominal wall, which were confirmed to be thrombosed veins consistent with Mondor’s disease. The patient did not have additional predisposing factors and carcinoma breast was excluded.
