Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

The Mammary Glands

The Mammary Glands

The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Summary

This case study highlights lymphoma presenting as unilateral gynecomastia in a male patient. It emphasizes recognizing this rare presentation for timely diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Hematology
Radiology

Background:

Gynecomastia, often benign, can mask serious underlying conditions.
Male breast lymphoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
Early detection of breast pathologies in men is crucial.

Observation:

A case of lymphoma presenting as unilateral gynecomastia is detailed.
Clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and histopathology are analyzed.
Differential diagnosis for unilateral gynecomastia is discussed.

Findings:

Lymphoma can manifest as unilateral gynecomastia, mimicking benign conditions.
Mammography, high-resolution ultrasound, and biopsy are key diagnostic tools.
Specific clinical and imaging features can raise suspicion for malignancy.

Keywords:

Breast imaging gynaecomastia lymphoma
