oa Intralesional steroid injection for Mondor’s disease: A new approach based on a post-surgical case series

To the Editor,

We have carefully reviewed the insightful case report by Avantifiori et al. entitled “Penile Mondor’s disease after open hernia repair surgery: A case report”, which was published in the Qatar Medical Journal.¹ Their detailed exploration of penile Mondor’s disease (PMD) following inguinal hernia repair provides valuable perspectives on this rare condition.

In light of their work, we wish to present our findings from a series of cases of Mondor’s disease that occurred after axillary osmidrosis surgery. Our experience with this condition and the management strategies we used may contribute to a comparative viewpoint that enhances the broader understanding of Mondor’s disease.

Notably, in the present clinical practice, we have applied intralesional steroid injections for treating Mondor’s disease, which has not been previously reported. This treatment strategy is guided by dermatological practices for managing inflammation in conditions such as inflamed cysts or eczema.^2-3 Given the efficacy observed in our cases, it may warrant further investigation as a potential therapeutic option.
