Recurrent Mondor's breast disease -- Hormonal contraceptive involvement.

Mondor's disease can be a challenging diagnosis. The case we present is of a 29 year-old Brazilian woman, under combined hormonal contraception, who consulted for a painful lump on her right breast. She presented a complete resolution after a local treatment of heparinoid cream and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory oral treatment, but relapsed 18 months later. Oral combined hormonal contraception was the only "risk factor" found, in this case, and the modification of the latter helped resolve the relapse clinical symptoms.
