Sumario:BACKGROUND: Penile involvement is a rare, self-limiting, benign genital condition. In Mondor’s disease the underlying pathology is thrombophlebitis of a superficial vein. CASE REPORT: In this case report, we want to present a rare Penile Mondor’s disease with literature review. CONCLUSIONS: While the diagnosis can be based on history, physical examination and Doppler ultrasound, the necessity of both MRI, MR angiography and intracavernosal vasoactive agent administration can be questioned. Both MRI and intravenous vasoactive agent administration may be helpful in suspicious cases for differential diagnosis and to eliminate other etiologies like pelvic mass or thrombosis.
