Abstract:
Male reproductive issues are frequently overlooked in patients of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) on imatinib therapy. Current article describes a young man with CML on imatinib mesylate since 13 years who presented to us with painful left sided breast swelling. Mammography and fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed the diagnosis of gynaecomastia and hormone profile revealed low testosterone levels. Gynaecomastia was attributed to imatinib related hypogonadism. Gynaecomastia improved after hormone replacement therapy. Need for long term monitoring of reproductive hormones in patients of CML on imatinib therapy is emphasized in this report.
