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.
从定义上讲,巨乳症意味着双侧乳房良性进行性增大,增大程度需通过缩乳手术来切除每侧超过1800克的组织。它见于青春期或孕期。这种病症的病因仍不明确,但手术仍是主要的治疗方法。我们报告一例独特的巨乳症病例,该病例既与青春期无关,也与妊娠无关,且目前已因复发接受了三次手术。
