ABSTRACT: The consequence of a monstrous and diffuse evolution of the usual
epithelial hyperplasia of pregnancy, gravidic gigantomastia is a disabling
pathology. Rarely, it poses a problem for management and its etiology is still undetermined. In spite of a benign condition, it is nonetheless a serious one because of the
complications associated with excessive growth, the weight of the mammary gland
and the compromise of breastfeeding function (through destruction of the
nipple-areolar plate and surgery). We report a case of bilateral gravidic
gigantomastia in a 31-year-old woman to discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic
aspects.
