Proposed merge of Mondor's disease into Superficial thrombophlebitis[edit]
I think these are the same subjects (Mondor's specifically being of the breast, except when it's not being used so specifically). See https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1087099-overview and https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/463256-overview If we decide to keep them separate, we should do a better job of differentiating them.

- Merge - The terms seem to be used interchangeably in much of the literature I've looked at, with Mondor's disease (MD) being superficial thrombophlebitis (ST) located in specific areas (breast, penis, underarm, sometimes other parts of the thorax). The only differentiator I've found is that MD can be caused by lymphangitis (inflammation of the lymph vessels), implying that MD describes the symptoms, whereas ST describes the cause (Mondor's Disease: A Review of the Literature referencing A Ichinose et al.), but this isn't specifically stated as a definition. I think MD would be better as a section in the ST article with a note that there can be other causes, given that ST causes the majority of cases and both articles are fairly small with significant overlap. tamasys (talk) 02:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Merge - Any attempt to expand Mondor's disease would result in significant overlap with Superficial thrombophlebitis. As mentioned by others I think Mondor's disease should be expanded on in the Superficial thrombophlebitis article but does not need its own article.
