    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Gigantomastia, characterized by rapid, excessive breast growth, is a rare condition.
    • It can occur during adolescence, presenting significant physical and psychological challenges.
    • Differential diagnosis excludes hormonal imbalances and malignancies.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old female presented with acute bilateral breast enlargement.
    • Comprehensive examinations ruled out hormonal disturbances, genital, and pituitary carcinomas.
    • Surgical intervention was performed for bilateral mammary gland removal.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination revealed a lack of normal lobular structure in the mammary glands.
    • Ducts were enlarged and cystic, lined by thickened or cubic endothelium.

  • The stroma was composed of dense connective tissue, indicative of pathological changes.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare variant of gigantomastia with distinct histological features.
    • Understanding these rare presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management in adolescents.
    • Further research into the etiology of such rare gigantomastia is warranted.
