  • To review the development of male excess breast tissue (gynaecomastia).
  • To discuss the physiological and pathological bases of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on gynaecomastia.
  • Analysis of etiological factors.

Main Results:

  • Gynaecomastia presents a common clinical issue.
  • The condition can stem from various physiological or pathological origins.

Conclusions:
