Objective To investigate the expression of the cyclin D1 in pubertal mammary hypertrophy and micromastia. Methods The expression of cyclin D1 was detected by SP immunohisto-chemistry in 18 cases of pubertal mammary hypertrophy and 12 cases of micromastia. Results The expression rate of cyclin D1 within breast tissue was 83. 33 % and 16. 67 % in pubertal mammary hypertrophy and micromastia, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 01). Conclusion The expression level of the cyclin D1 within breast tissue in pubertal mammary hypertrophy is higher than that in micromastia.
