Abstract
Thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins of the breast is a well known disease entity, the aetiology of which remains obscure. It affects mostly middle-aged women with large pendulous breasts. The present study suggests that the causative agent may not be a single factor but rather a combination of factors. Thirty cases (28 women, two men) are presented and analysed. A larger multicentre study is recommended.Entities:
