Is Mondor's Disease/Syndrome linked to breast cancer?

[M0NSTERR]

Hi everybody

When I raise my arms, a large dent appears on the underside of my right breast. My ob-gyn never saw anything like it and I had a mammo and an ultrasound that showed nothing, so she dismissed it. I decided to see a specialist, because I'm only 24 and something obviously changed inside of me to cause this...

Today my breast surgeon diagnosed me with Mondor's disease. It's pretty uncommon - she's been looking at breasts for forty + years and has never seen it before. It's benign and will treat itself, most likely disappearing in the next year.

My question is this - is there a known link between Mondor and breast cancer? The research out there is kind of vague - but from what I have read, it seems like there is some sort of link.

Anyone out there have any thoughts/experience/advice?

Thanks!

Yonni

Mondor's although rare I'm surprised that a Breast Surgeon would be in practice that long without having see a case. We have had someone fairly recently here on the Community who was diagnosed with Mondor's. I do recall some mention of a relation between Mondor's and Breast Cancer but it would be minimal at best.     Regards ....

P.S. I have had no breast trauma at all, no breast surgery...none of the most common causes of Mondor's. It kind of just appeared.
