Abstract
Mondor's disease is an uncommon disorder that occurs mostly with no specific etiology. In selected cases, it may accompany other conditions such as augmentation mammoplasty. Recurrence of the disease has been very rare. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of recurrence of the disease in two different superficial veins of the anterior chest wall. No similar case has been reported before.
