Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 causes blood hypercoagulability and severe inflammation resulting in an increased risk of thrombosis. Consequently, COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease seem to be at higher risk of adverse events. Mondor's disease is a rare, generally self-limiting, thrombosis of the penis. The pathogenesis of Mondor's disease is unknown, and it is usually diagnosed through clinical signs and with Doppler ultrasound evaluation. We describe the case of a young man with COVID-19 infection who
Document: SARS-CoV-2 causes blood hypercoagulability and severe inflammation resulting in an increased risk of thrombosis. Consequently, COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease seem to be at higher risk of adverse events. Mondor's disease is a rare, generally self-limiting, thrombosis of the penis. The pathogenesis of Mondor's disease is unknown, and it is usually diagnosed through clinical signs and with Doppler ultrasound evaluation. We describe the case of a young man with COVID-19 infection who manifested Mondor's disease. LEARNING POINTS SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with an inflammatory response leading to a prothrombotic state and subsequent risk of arterial and venous pathology.Superficial vein thrombosis can occur in COVID-19 patients.
