Idiopathic gigantomastia, however, is a rare entity with hypotheses citing local expression of hormones and growth factors in causing this disease, none of which have been systemically analysed. The purpose of this study was to delve deeper into the mechanistic pathways causing this condition. Herein, we describe three patients of idiopathic gigantomastia, all of whom had had… CONTINUE READING
