Gynaecomastia.

D B Hamer

    The British Journal of Surgery
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Male breast enlargement, including gynecomastia and mammaplasia, requires different management strategies based on patient age. Conservative treatment is common for younger patients, while older patients necessitate histological confirmation due to higher underlying condition incidence.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Male Health

    Background:

    • Male breast enlargement encompasses gynecomastia and mammaplasia.
    • Patient age influences diagnostic and treatment approaches.
    • Previous reports show a lower incidence of underlying conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a series of male breast enlargement cases.
    • To analyze age-specific diagnostic and treatment strategies.
    • To investigate the incidence of underlying conditions in male breast enlargement.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of 53 patients.
    • Analysis of treatment based on age group (younger vs. older).
    • Evaluation of diagnostic methods, including histological confirmation.

    Main Results:

    • Younger patients often received conservative management.
    • Surgery was reserved for diagnostic uncertainty or cosmetic concerns in younger patients.
    • Older patients required histological confirmation, revealing a higher incidence of underlying conditions than previously reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Age is a critical factor in managing male breast enlargement.
    • Histological confirmation is vital for older males due to increased risk of underlying pathologies.
    • This series highlights a higher comorbidity rate in older males with breast enlargement.
