Abstract

Juvenile gigantomastia or virgin mammary hypertrophy is a pathological increase greater than 1500 cm3 in the volume of the two breasts in adolescents. It is unsightly. But very often, it is the pain, the disorders of the spinal statics and the shoulder girdle, as well as the psychological impact which lead the adolescent to make a request for repairing and cosmetic surgery. The medical treatments are disappointing, giving way to surgery which can compromise the functional future of the mammary glands. We report the case of a young girl carrying a juvenile gigantomastia. It was a 16-yearold girl carrying a disabling gigantomastia whose management, essentially surgical by a reduction mammoplasty was carried out at the Mohammed IV center for the treatment of cancers at CHU CASABLANCA. It is a rare disease; Pregnancies are possible and recurrences are not uncommon.
