Abstract

Superficial thrombophlebitis of the dorsal vein of the penis, known as penile Mondor's disease, is an uncommon genital disease. We report on a healthy 44-year-old man who presented with painful penile swelling, ecchymosis, and penile deviation after masturbation, which initially imitated a penile fracture. Thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis without rupture of corpus cavernosum was found during surgical exploration. The patient recovered without erectile dysfunction.
