Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Male gynaecomastia is a commonly occurring aesthetic concern. It is often benign, but malignancy needs to be ruled out especially in patients above 40 years. Various treatment techniques have been described, but none have gained universal acceptance. We reviewed 25 cases of gynaecomastia presenting to the department of surgery. Clinical notes and outpatient records of all patients presenting with gynaecomastia between January 2013 to January 2014 were collected and evaluated. The average age group of presentation was 32.72 years. All patients presented with enlargement and pain in breast area. Ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic masses in 17 cases. All these cases were operated, with histopathology showing benign lesions. Conclusion: Majority of pubertal gynaecomastia require only observation and reassurance. Surgery or medical management is usually reserved only for selected cases. Keywords: Gynaecomastia, Ultrasonography.
