description Penile Mondor's disease is a rare condition characterized by superficial dorsal vein thrombosis of the penis, whose pathogenesis remains unclear. Prolonged or aggressive sexual intercourse has been identified as a potential risk factor. We present a case of a 54-year-old man who developed a penile mass following aggressive sexual activity. Diagnosis of superficial dorsal vein thrombosis was made using ultrasound and confirmed by MRI. The patient underwent conservative treatment and abstained from sexual activity. After four weeks, complete resolution of the thrombus was observed. This case emphasizes the importance of healthcare professionals, particularly urologists, in recognizing and managing Penile Mondor's disease.
