Introduction: Gigantomastia in pregnancy is a rare pathology that is often physically and psychologically complicated.
Observation: We report two cases, the first of which was a 24-year-old primigravida at 24 weeks amenorrhea, presenting with bilateral gigantomastia progressing from the beginning of her pregnancy and complicated by a large hemorrhagic ulcerative necrotizing skin lesion.
The second case was that of a second pregnant patient, primiparous 29-year-old with a 27-week amenorrhea pregnancy. She had consulted for an exaggerated augmentation and inflammation of both breasts with collateral venous circulation on the chest. They had hyperprolactinemia and glandular hypertrophy. Treatment was symptomatic and the evolution was spontaneously favorable in the postpartum period.
Conclusion: Gigantomastia in pregnancy has hormonal origin. It often becomes complicated towards the end of the second trimester of pregnancy by trophic skin disorders, and may regress spontaneously in the postpartum.
