Gestational gigantomastia is a rare disorder without clear etiology or well-established risk factors. Several pathogenic mechanisms contributing to the disease process have been proposed, all of which can lead to a similar phenotype of breast hypertrophy.<jats:italic>Case<\/jats:italic>. A 28-year-old Guinean woman presented at 37 weeks of gestation with bilateral gigantomastia, mastalgia, peau d\u2019orange, and back pain. Prolactin levels were 103.3\u2009<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>g\/L (with a normal reference value for prolactin in pregnancy being 36\u2013372\u2009<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>g\/L). The patient was treated with bromocriptine (2.5\u2009mg twice daily), scheduled for a repeat cesarean, and referred to surgery for bilateral mammoplasty.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Gestational gigantomastia is a rare disorder, characterized by enlargement and hypertrophy of breast tissue. Our patient presented with no endocrine or hematological abnormalities, adding to a review of the literature for differential diagnoses, workup, and management of cases of gestational gigantomastia
