“…The majority of male patients with gynecomastia are asymptomatic and referred for persistently tender breasts, palpable lump, or disturbed body image [5]. Previous studies reported that new cases of gynecomastia accounted for up to 80% of male patients referred to hospitals with breast lesions [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The aim of this study was to examine the nature of male breast lesions, especially those diagnosed as gynecomastia at Hatyai Hospital over the past 8 years (2004−2011).…”

Background: Gynecomastia is a common benign lesion of the male breast and accounts for up to 80% of male patients referred with beast lesions. Objective: To examine the pattern of breast lesions in male patients who underwent breast biopsy. Methods: All male patients referred to Hatyai Hospital with breast complaints were included in the study. Histopathology reports were retrospectively reviewed during 2004-2011. Results: In 77 male patients diagnosed with breast lesions, the most common lesion was gynecomastia (49/77, 64%), followed by fibrocystic changes (7/77, 9%), and breast cancer (6/77, 8%). Gynecomastia was commonly found in male patients less than 40 years of age, while other breast lesions are seen in male patients over 40 years of age (P = 0.036, OR = 2.842, 95%CI = 1.085-7.447). Conclusion: Gynecomastia was the most common diagnosis among breast lesions in male patients referred to the Hatyai Hospital during 2004-2011. Gynecomastia was more common in the patients less than 20 years old.

Extranodal lymphoma masquerading as carcinoma of the breast in an HIV-positive male patient

et al. 2012

SummaryThis report describes a male patient infected with the HIV, with antiretroviral therapy (ART)-induced gynaecomastia. He presented with a right-sided breast mass which clinically resembled a carcinoma. A core biopsy suggested non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of diffuse large B cell histology. Also presented are his 18-fluoro-deoxy-glucose -positron emission tomography (FDG PET)-CT scan findings which showed a highly avid mass (standardised uptake value (SUV) 34.5) in his right breast. In spite of a very good clinical response after the first cycle of chemotherapy, his disease relapsed at multiple sites and progressed early. This case illustrates the aggressive course of HIV-associated extranodal lymphomas, and also highlights the issues concerning the use of ART and chemotherapy. BACKGROUND

“…Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the most common Mycobacterium to infect the breast and is more common in females than in males. 87 Mammary TB may present with nonspecific clinical, radiological, and histologic findings. Misdiagnosis is common as biopsy specimens are paucibacillary and investigations such as microscopy and culture frequently show negative results.…”
