Abstract:

Patient is a 13-year-old girl, who presents to the gynecology clinic with a three-month history of growing bilateral breast masses. She noticed the start of breast development about one year ago and she has not started her menses. She describes her breasts as firm and nontender and she denies any discharge. She thought this was normal breast development, but did mention it to her mother, who notified her nephrologist. Her past medical history reveals that she has end-stage renal disease due to nephrotic syndrome and underwent a renal transplant two years ago. She has otherwise no complaints. Her current medications include cyclosporin and prednisone. There is no family history of breast cancer. (excerpt)
