    Abstract:
    Mondor's disease is a rare but not uncommon complication of breast surgery. This problem is commonly described as the thrombophlebitis of the superficial thoracoabdominal veins. Symptoms combine painful contracture occurring in the sub-mammary region and/or in the axillary region, rising during arm abduction. The contracture located in the axillary region usually join the epitrochlea. Based on a serie of 8 patients, the fascial hypothesis is developed. All the patients were treated by LPG and myo-fascial techiques with a complete relief of pain in 10 days.
