Abstract

Gigantomastia is a rare mastopathy of unknown cause. It affects mostly young women at the time of puberty and is often manifested by a bilateral increase in breast size. Hormone levels are usually normal and the breast biopsy shows an increase in mesenchymal tissue. The mechanical and psychological complications related to the excessive weight and volume of the breasts impose a rapid and effective surgical treatment whose goal is to obtain physical and psychological results rarely equaled in conventional medicine. Therefore contributes to a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being to patients. We will report two cases of juvenile gigantomastia; discuss the therapeutic possibilities and the prognosis.
