description | Breast atrophy can occur due to various reasons and it may be a cosmetic problem for women. The main etiological factors are hormonal insufficiency, hormonal axis suppression, virilizing tumors, and the use of anabolic hormones. In all of these conditions both two breasts are affected and atrophy is bilateral. Atrophy, hypoplasia, agenesis or other developmental disorders in only one of the breasts are more rare. However, several examples can be found in the literature. Occurence of atrophy in one of the breasts after bilateral normal development is quite rare. In this paper we present a young female patient whom we examined owing to shrinking in her right breast. |
