RABE, FH et al. Gestational gigantomastia complicated by pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia – a multidisciplinary management approach. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2024, vol.62, n.1, pp.89-91. ISSN 2078-5151.  https://doi.org/10.36303/SAJS.00201.

Gestational 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. This, to the best of our knowledge, is the first published case, a 27-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive woman, to present with both conditions concurrently. Medical management with cabergoline was initiated and, seven months post-delivery, a novel Goldilocks mastectomy was performed with acceptable outcomes.

Palabras clave : gestational gigantomastia; macromastia; pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia; Goldilocks mastectomy.
