English Abstract
Journal Article
[Bilateral gestational macromastia: case report].
PURPOSE: We report a case of bilateral gestationnal macromastia in order to discuss the pathogeny, the diagnosis and the treatment.
METHODOLOGY: It was a case of a 33-year-old woman, admitted for a bilateral massive hypertrophy of the breast occurring on pregnancy and with progressive evolution. She had three pregnancies and one born-infant. Biological exams have shown a hyperprolactinemia. Pathological exam of the mammary biopsy had shown a benign hyperplasia.
RESULTS: Medical treatment of our patient by bromocriptin was inefficient. She has had a bilateral mastectomy. She is waiting for mammary plastic surgery.
CONCLUSION: Gravidic macromastia is a rare pathology whose etiology and treatment are much debated. Frequent recurrence after mammary reduction justify the mastectomy followed by prothesis.
