"It has been defined as excessive breast tissue greater than 1.5 kg (range=0.8-2.0 kg) or at least 3% of the body weight; however, there is still no global agreement about its definition ^6-8."

Line 8:123 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Its exact aetiology is unknown; however, it is believed to be due to an abnormal response to pregnancy-related hormonal stimulation. It can occur with peripubertal breast hypertrophy, juvenile gigantomastia, obesity-related breast hypertrophy or as a complication secondary to pregnancy-related gland hypertrophy ^ref."

Line 10:34 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Medical treatment is with bromocriptine administration; however surgical intervention may be required if the disorder continues to progress. The usual surgical management involves reduction mammoplasty. The resected specimen is sent for histological evaluation to exclude malignancy ^ref."

Line 21:58 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Commas

suggestion

"Gigantomastia has been described in conjunction with hypercalcaemia, hyperprolactinaemia, deranged liver function tests, and certain autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis ^6,7,9,10."

Line 19:71 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

Line 23:70 · Use the Oxford comma in 'ulceration, infection and haemorrhage'.
