Background:

  • Gynecomastia is a common clinical finding in men.
  • The condition involves benign breast tissue enlargement.
  • Differential diagnosis is crucial for identifying underlying pathologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a one-year clinical experience with male patients presenting with gynecomastia.
  • To assess the prevalence of underlying progressive causes in patients diagnosed with gynecomastia.
  • To highlight the significance of thorough evaluation for male breast enlargement.

    • Main Results:

    • An unexpected number of gynecomastia cases were observed.
    • Thirty percent of the studied male patients exhibited potentially progressive underlying causes for their gynecomastia.
    • This finding underscores the need for comprehensive diagnostic approaches.

    Conclusions:
