The authors present an exceptional case of mammary giantism with marked ptosis covering the entire abdomen of an 11-year-old girl; this diffuse virginal hypertrophy, occurring in children or adolescents, results from a hypersensitivity of mammary tissue to a normal level of estrogen. Relapses from residual tissue following a mammaplasty reduction have led certain authors to propose immediate sub-cutaneous mastectomy and reconstitution by prothesis.
