An unusual case of gigantomasty.
The authors report an unusual case of gigantomasty, of such proportions that it is believed to be the most striking published case, when the ratio of breast weight/body weight is taken into account (24%). The outstanding breast volume and the aggressive and pronounced growth potential of the breast tissue presented unusual problems which required special solutions. The case is presented from its beginning, when the patient was 12 years old up to the completion of treatment with the patient at adult age.
