A Newborn with Bilateral Breast Enlargement: Neonatal Mastauxe

Abstract

Neonatal breast enlargement is a common condition as a normal response to postnatally falling maternal hormones. It can be seen in the first weeks and usually progresses during the first 2 months of life. We herein report a male newborn who was admitted with bilateral breast enlargement, diagnosed as neonatal “giant” mastauxe, and followed up without treatment. “Neonatal mastauxe” is the term used for physiological breast enlargement. It is important to differentiate neonatal mastauxe from mastitis or abscess. The parents should be informed about that it resolves without treatment over a few weeks of period, and they should be warned to avoid squeezing the breast. The most adequate approach is to observe the regression of breast swelling
