Breast
- Large Breast
Excessively large breasts can be more than an aesthetic embarrassment, they can also cause severe physical symptoms that directly impact quality of life. [nygplasticsurgery.com]
Breast hypertrophy is by definition disproportionally large breasts with excessive breast tissue. This may occur as early as puberty, as a result of pregnancies, weight gain or even menopause. [drlilyvrtik.com.au]
The main objective of this retrospective study was to determine whether the rates of complications are higher in large reductions (≥2000 g per breast) as compared with smaller reductions (≤1999 g per breast) using the superior pedicle custom-made technique [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Convert to ICD-10-CM : 611.1 converts directly to: 2015/16 ICD-10-CM N62 Hypertrophy of breast Approximate Synonyms Atypical lobular hyperplasia of left breast Atypical lobular hyperplasia of right breast Breast hypertrophy Gynecomastia Large breast Macromastia [icd9data.com]
The researchers then used three-dimensional scanning to precisely measure the volume of each woman’s breasts and categorize them as small, medium, large or very large. [nytimes.com]

In experienced clinics, use of tamoxifen in the treatment of juvenile breast hypertrophy during the brisk growth period may become a medical alternative to reconstructive surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Medical treatment has not proven consistently effective. [checkrare.com]
Prognosis
Precise pathological diagnosis of breast disease is the most critical factor in determining treatment and establishing prognosis. [books.google.com]
Treatment and prognosis Medical treatment is with bromocriptine administration; however surgical intervention may be required if the disorder continues to progress. The usual surgical management involves reduction mammoplasty. [radiopaedia.org]
The prognosis for gynecomastia resulting from a disease ( cirrhosis of the liver or testicular cancer) depends on the outcome of that underlying disease. Drug-induced gynecomastia usually subsides with stopping the particular drugs. [nmihi.com]
The prognosis is the same as that for a woman whose cancer is at the same stage. As in women, breast cancer in men causes breast lumps that should be evaluated. Diagnostic techniques are the same as those used in women. [merckmanuals.com]
Etiology
A case of unilateral virginal breast hypertrophy with a review of the etiological factors and treatment modalities is presented. A 16-year-old girl presented with progressive enlargement of the left breast of 5 months' duration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The three women who presented for initial management had a complete evaluation to rule out other etiologies of breast enlargement. Endocrine therapy was used in 2 patients, one successfully. [doi.org]
Epidemiology
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.com]
Pediatr Clin North Am 46 : 607 – 629 2 1997 Epidemiology of benign breast disease, with special attention to histologic types. [doi.org]
Pathophysiology
It is unclear why the response to the hormones differs from neonate to neonate, but it has been suggested that individual factors such as hypersensitivity of the breast tissue to estrogen and/or prolactin are the main pathophysiologic factor for this [omicsonline.org]
Discussion The pathophysiology of gigantomastia is still unknow; although no precise mechanism is known for this rare clinical entity, theories such as end-organ hyper-sensitivity, autoimmune stimulation antibodies, high IGF-1 and hyperprolactinemia have [panafrican-med-journal.com]
Pathophysiology Estrogen & androgen metabolism The rate of plasma androgen conversion to estrogen in the entire body was measured using radioactive tracers. [doi.org]

Many of the larger-breasted women also reported that they believed that their breast size prevented them from exercising easily, even in low-impact activities like walking or swimming. [nytimes.com]
Breast reduction surgery removes tissue to reduce pressure and increase airflow to the chest area, which prevents these rashes and improves patient comfort and mobility. [drlinder.com]
Drainage tubes may be inserted into your incisions to help prevent the accumulation of fluids. You may be asked to wear a support bra or elastic bandage to help support the breasts as they heal. [yourplasticsurgeryguide.com]
