Gigantomastia Pt.2
Gigantomastia Gigantomastia is extreme growth of the breasts (i.e. 10 pounds per breast and more). Gigantomastia was first described in literature in 1648.[1] The condition is caused by over-sensitivity to the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, and/or an unusually high quantity of these hormones. Gigantomastia means bilateral benign progressive breast enlargement to a degree that requires breast reduction surgery to remove more than 4 lb of tissue on each side.[2] In severe cases women have breasts that weigh in excess of 20 lb each. The largest recorded weight was 67 lb per breast.
