Medical: Prednisolone-induced virginal mammary hypertrophy: Case report.

Virginal mammary hypertrophy (VMH) is a rare benign disorder of the breast characterized by excessive enlargement of one or both breasts. It usually presents during adolescence. Drug-induced VMH has been scarcely reported in case reports. Review of the literature showed that prednisolone-induced gigantomastia was reported in a single study on a 47-year-old female. In this study, a case of VMH in a 17-year-old girl following prednisolone treatment will be described. Clinical presentation, clinical findings, diagnostic work-up, management and follow up are discussed.
