ABSTRACT
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare idiopathic proliferative mesenchymal breast disease related to hormonal imbalance, and thus extremely rare in children and adolescents. In addition, PASH manifests as a bilateral gigantomastia in some cases with no established cause or treatment. Here, we report a case of a rapidly developed PASH presenting with bilateral gigantomastia in a 14-year-old premenarchial female patient. Considering the patient's age and emotions and the need for nipple-areolar complex repositioning, we performed reduction mammoplasty rather than total mastectomy despite the possibility of recurrence. Although some masses could not be completely removed, no complications, such as infection, wound dehiscence, or hematoma occurred postoperatively. The patient was stable during the 18-month follow-up period, although an evidence of recurrent and residual disease was noted upon ultrasonography.
