Gestational gigantomastia complicated by pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia - a multidisciplinary management approach
S Afr J Surg. 2024 Mar;62(1):89-91.ABSTRACTGestational gigantomastia is a rare condition typified by disproportionate bilateral breast enlargement in pregnant women, resulting in skin thinning, ulceration, and bleeding. Less than sixty cases have been documented worldwide, and only one other in South Africa. Pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare benign proliferation of stromal tissue in a tumorous or diffuse pattern.
