Macromastia in a newborn with Alagille syndrome.
We present a case of macromastia in a newborn with Alagille syndrome. A review of the literature failed to find any prior reports of this findings in Alagille syndrome patients. We propose that this patient's macromastia may be related to her liver failure and abnormal estrogen metabolism.
