Abstract
A 28-year-old pregnant woman had acute superficial thrombophlebitis in the right axilla. Aside from pregnancy, there were no risk factors for hypercoagulability. This case is presented as a variant of Mondor's disease. The pendulous breasts associated with her pregnancy and strenuous lifting may have predisposed the patient to the disease.
