Abstract
Gigantomastia during pregnancy is a rare occurrence that is usually resolved by postpartum involution or surgical reduction. The authors present a patient that illustrates rapid enlargement of the breast that caused decreased fetal growth and skin breakdown, and ultimately resulted in total surgical removal of the breast tissue and reconstruction.
