Gigantomastia: A problem of local recurrence.

Dhananjay Kulkarni1, N Beechey-Newman, H Hamed, I S Fentiman.   

Abstract

Gigantomastia by definition means bilateral benign progressive breast enlargement to a degree that requires breast reduction surgery to remove more than 1800 g of tissue on each side. It is seen at puberty or during pregnancy. The etiology for this condition is still not clear, but surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. We present a unique case of Gigantomastia, which was neither related to puberty nor pregnancy and has undergone three operations so far for recurrence.
