Abstract

Gravidic macromastia is a condition characterized by an excessive and generalized enlargement of the breasts which occurs during pregnancy or shortly after pregnancy. It is a rare condition whose etiology is unknown. Most Authors describe it as a pathology which is influenced by a disturbed play of hormones of hypersensitivity of mammary tissue to normal hormone stimulation. A therapeutic approach is discussed with reference to the literature.
