Sumario:We here report the case of a 29-year old gravida 2, para 2 patient with no particular past medical history. Symptoms evolved over 2 months and were marked by bilateral breast growth impairing her daily activities. Clinical examination showed hypertrophied breasts and bilateral breast ulcers. She had a history of 28-weeks amenorrhea. Anatomopathological examination of ulcers showed fleshy bud-like tissue. The patient had high levels of prolactin (1345 µUI/ml). The levels of FSH and LH were normal. The patient underwent bromocriptine therapy without success. Patient's evolution was marked by decrease in size and regression in skin ulcers six months after vaginal birth. Gestational gigantomastia is a breast hypertrophy characterized by a breast volume exceeding 1500 cm(3) . Its cause is unknown. Radical treatment is based on bilateral mastectomy.
