Abstract: “String phlebitis” of anterior chest wall is a rare clinical entity with a poorly understood etiology. Failure to recognize this mostly benign condition can result in unnecessary investigations. At the same time, it can be a manifestation of a basic serious condition, especially carcinoma of the breast at its early stage, which is often underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness.
