Contrast mammography and the diagnosis of male breast cysts
Abstract:
Solitary, large male breast cysts are extremely rare. They occur mainly in children up to the age of seven, with the maximum incidence in the first 2 1/2 years of life (Chumachenko, 1968). Pneumocystography and pneumomammography are very useful tools to diagnose cystic breast disease in females and to differentiate this entity from other breast diseases (Baraldi, 1935; Gross, 1952; Weshler et al., 1973). In males, the use of these diagnostic procedures has not been reported. In the present paper, we describe two cases of solitary breast cysts in males aged 11 and 35 in whom the diagnosis was established with the above mentioned procedures.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
