Abstract

Juvenile hypertrophy of the breast (JHB) is an uncommon, benign disorder and typically starts at the adolescence in females. It is characterized by rapid enlargement of breasts, either unilateral or bilateral. The definitive diagnosis is made by histopathologic examination. Treatment recommendations include surgery and hormonal therapy, although hormonal manipulation is still controversial in pediatric patients. Here we report an adult female 35-year-old with right sided JHB who did not undergo surgery or medical treatment.
