“…Currently, the College of American Pathologists does not offer any formal guidelines regarding the examination of gynecomastia tissue and yet classifies gynecomastia as a "purely benign condition." 6 Despite this, 22 major children's hospitals, including the institutions involved in this study and some of the top children's hospitals in the nation (based on U.S. News & World Report), all routinely perform Kapila et al 39 163 Atypia (4) Lilleng et al 13 162 No Olsson et al 8 73 No Bannayan and Hajdu 22 50 No Pensler et al 10 34 No Hanavadi et al 7 31 No Bower et al 19 23 No Jimenez et al 29 15 No Peters et al 12 11 No Hamer 20 9 N o Lee et al 15 7 N o Das et al 41 5 N o Courtiss 17 4 N o Scheike and Visfeldt 21 3 N o Pacinda and Ramzy 11 3 N o Treves 31 3 N o Marynick et al 18 1 N o Schnurbusch 30 1 N o Grinberg 27 1 N o Haagensen 25 1 N o Snoga et al 24 1 N o Goldfine et al 23 1 N o Samdal et al 14 1 N o Yoshida et al 9 1 N o Menville 26 1 N o Olcay and Gokoz 28 1 N o Hughes 32 1 N o De Potter et al 16 1 N o Prasad et al 35 1 Atypia (1) Corroppolo et al 34 1 Cancer (1) Fodor 38 1 Cancer (1) Kavalakat et al 36 1 Cancer (1) Wilson et al 37 1 Cancer (1) Wadie et al 40 1 Cancer (1) Chang et al 33 1…”

Breast Cancer Incidence in Adolescent Males Undergoing Subcutaneous Mastectomy for Gynecomastia: Is Pathologic Examination Justified? A Retrospective and Literature Review

The incidence of malignancy or abnormal pathology associated with gynecomastia tissue in the adolescent male is extremely low, and given the associated costs, the pathologic examination of breast tissue excised for gynecomastia in individuals 21 years of age or younger should be neither routinely performed nor required but should be performed only when desired by either the patient, the patient's family, or the managing physician.

“…One might expect gynaecomastia to be bilateral but Hamer (1975) reports that in over 75% of cases the condition is unilateral; the left breast being affected more often than the right; this is reported elsewhere (Bannayan and Hajdu, 1972).…”

Summary A 67-year-old man developed dermatomyositis. Investigation revealed an oat cell carcinoma of the lung. When he developed unilateral gynaecomastia this tumour was found to secrete gonadotrophins. The gynaecomastia disappeared after treatment with an anti-oestrogen--tamoxifen. This use of tamoxifen has not previously been described. Partial tumour regression was obtained with several cytotoxic drug regimes. His dermatomyositis responded to this treatment and remains in remission.

All fine-needle aspirates (FNA) performed on the male breast at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center from 1985 to 1992 were reviewed, totaling 64. The patients' ages ranged from 19 to 86 years, with a mean of 56 years. Thirty-three patients had a history of an extramammary malignancy. The diagnoses established by FNA were gynecomastia (45), mammary carcinomas (6), neoplasms metastatic to the breast (5), suspicious for carcinoma (1), intra-mammary lymph node (1), and lipoma (1). In five cases the aspirates were nondiagnostic. Two of these proved to be gynecomastia on subsequent histologic examination. Of the six FNA cases initially thought to represent primary breast carcinomas, two were found to be secondary because of involvement of the underlying chest wall by mesothelioma (1), and mucinous adenocarcinoma, unknown primary (1). No false-positive diagnosis was rendered. We conclude that fine-needle aspiration of the male breast is a reliable means of assessment; however, unique problems may be encountered compared with aspiration of the female breast. These include the epithelial hyperplasia frequently associated with gynecomastia, the relatively equal frequency of primary and metastatic breast lesions when a malignant process is discovered, and chest wall lesions masquerading as breast lesions.
