The revelation comes days after shocking images showed how a 19-year-old Canadian woman’s breast quadrupled in size in what experts believe is a rare reaction to Pfizer‘s Covid jab dubbed the ‘Pfizer boob job’.
Now, MailOnline has uncovered data from the British drug medical safety watchdog showing 33 reports of similar cases of ‘breast enlargement’ following Pfizer’s vaccine.
A further 11 British women reported an expanded bust after AstraZeneca‘s jab, while four reported the same bizarre reaction after a Moderna vaccine.
These reports, made to the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Yellow Card system, are based on patient testimony only.
They have not been verified by medical professionals, and experts flag that it is possible such unexpected bodily changes occured by chance — and had nothing to do with the jab.
However, doctors have argued that the link between the unusual reaction and the vaccine is indeed plausible.
Making their case in a recent medical report about a young woman who suffered the complication, they theorize that a bizarre immune system reaction to the vaccine may have caused cells in the breast to overgrow.
The report, by medics at the University of Toronto, told of a Canadian woman who went from a B cup to triple G cup within six months of two doses of a Pfizer Covid jab.
The unnamed 19-year-old received her first dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in September 2022 and then noticed her breasts had started tingling and growing slightly.
Both reactions accelerated following her second dose just three weeks later.
Over a total six-month period, her breasts grew to a triple G cup size. The bra size of an average British women is 36DD.
Rapid breast growth is a rare condition medically known as gigantomastia.
Experts are still exploring what triggers it though some cases are known to be the result of hormone problem or a reaction to certain drugs.
Doctors, who reported the case in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open, suggested the vaccine may have triggered a cause of gigantomastia called pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH).
PASH itself a poorly understood condition where cells in the breast tissue called myofibroblasts overgrow as benign lumps.
It is rare, having only been medically documented some 200 times, and no previous examples had any known link to vaccines.
An ultrasound and CT scan showed slightly swollen lymph nodes around the woman’s armpits and dense blood vessels, which the medics believe was from the enlarged breast tissue.
Analysis of tissue samples taken from biopsies confirmed the growth was result of PASH.
Despite a course of treatment involving steroids and antibiotics no reduction in breast size was noted.
She chose to undergo a breast reduction procedure to take her bust size down to a DD 11 months after the jab.
