Definition of gynecomastia

• It is a common endocrine disorder in which there
  is a benign enlargement of breast tissue in
  males.
• The development of Gynecomastia is usually
  associated with benign pubertal changes, but in
  rare cases may be seen in association with
  certain disease states.

4
Signs and symptoms

• Male breast enlargement with rubbery or firm
  glandular subcutaneous chest tissue palpated
  under the areola of the nipple in contrast to
  softer fatty tissue.
• Milky discharge from the nipple is not a typical
  finding but may be seen in a gynecomastic
  individual with a prolactin secreting tumor.

5
Signs and symptoms

• The enlargement may occur on one side or both.
• Males with gynecomastia may appear anxious or
  stressed due to concerns about the possibility of
  having breast cancer.
• An increase in the diameter of the areola and
  asymmetry of the chest tissue.

6
causes

• An altered ratio of estrogens to androgens
  mediated by an increase in estrogen production.
• An altered ratio of estrogens to androgens
  mediated by a decrease in androgen production.
• An altered ratio of estrogens to androgens
  mediated by a combination of these two factors.

7
causes

• Estrogen acts as a growth hormone to increase
  the size of male breast tissue.
• The cause of gynecomastia is unknown in around
  25 of cases.

8
diagnosis

• A thorough history and physical examination are
  obtained by a physician.
• Examination includes evaluation of male breast
  tissue, evaluation of penile size and
  development, evaluation of testicular development
  and proper development of secondary sexual
  characteristics such as the amount and
  distribution of public and underarm hair.

9
diagnosis

• Mammography is the method of choice for
  radiologic examination of male breast tissue in
  the diagnosis of gynecomastia when breast cancer
  is suspected.

10
Treatment by surgery

• If chronical gynecomastia is treated then
  surgical removal of glandular breast tissue is
  usually required.
• Surgical approaches to the treatment of
  gynecomastia include subcutaneous mastectomy,
  assisted liposuction mastectomy, laser assisted
  liposuction and laser-lipolysis without
  liposuction.

11
Treatment by surgery

• Complications of mastectomy may include
  hematoma, surgical wound infection, breast
  asymmetry, changes in sensation of the breast,
  necrosis of the areola or nipple, seroma,
  noticeable or painful scars and contour
  deformities.

12
prognosis

• Gynecomastia is not physically harmful, but in
  some cases it may be an indicator of other more
  serious underlying conditions, such as testicular
  cancer.
• The glandular tissue typically grows under the
  influence of hormonal stimulation and is often
  tender or painful.
• Losing weight will not reduce the glandular
  component .

13

  different age populations newborns, adolescents
