[Gigantomastia complicating pregnancy. A case report].

Area of Science:

• Reproductive Medicine
• Surgical Oncology
• Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

• Gestational gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast growth during pregnancy.
• It poses significant risks to both maternal health and fetal development, necessitating careful management.

Observation:

• The authors present a unique case of gestational gigantomastia where pregnancy was carried to term.
• This highlights the potential for successful pregnancy outcomes despite the condition's severity.

Findings:

• The management of recurrent gestational gigantomastia requires careful consideration of future reproductive desires.
• Surgical intervention, specifically mastectomy, is advised for patients desiring subsequent pregnancies to prevent recurrence.

Implications:

• For patients not planning future pregnancies, a postpartum mammoplasty can be discussed as a reconstructive or aesthetic option.
• This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment strategies for rare obstetric complications.
