We present a 15-year-old male with a two-year history of gynecomastia and a four-month history of gradually enlarging abdomen and right flank pain. Examination revealed severe stunting with breast mass Tanner Stage 3, penile stage 2, and hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory investigations showed normal blood counts, liver function tests, alpha-fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. The imaging findings demonstrated multiple confluent masses in the liver, histologically diagnosed as fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Oral finasteride(Propecia(R)), 1mg/day, has been widely used as an effective treatment for male androgenetic alopecia since it had been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) of U.S. in December 1997. Gynecomastia has been one of the most common adverse effects in the patients who were taking 5mg of oral finasteride(Proscar(R)). Recently, several cases of unilateral or bilateral finasteride induced gynecomastia have also been reported in 1mg of oral finasteride(Propecia(r)). We report two cases of finasteride(Propecia(R)) induced painful bilateral gynecomastia, which are the first published documentations in Korea.

Hyperkeratosis of nipple and areola (HNA) is a rare benign condition of unknown etiology characterized by hyperkeratosis, verrucous thickening with brownish discoloration of nipple and areola. The nevoid form is predominantly seen in females and there are a few reports of HNA in men. Gynecomastia is benign enlargement of the male breast due to proliferation of the glandular component and associated with various conditions. It typically develops when there is an increase in the ratio of estrogen to androgen. We present a case of bilateral nevoid hyperkeratosis of nipple and areola occurring in a man with gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia is a proliferation of the glandular component of the male breast. Gynecomastia is the most common variant condition of the male breast and results from the effect of an altered estrogen-androgen balance on breast tissue or from the increased sensitivity of breast tissue to a normal estrogen level. We experienced a case of macrogynecomastia in a 16-year-old boy who had a normal male phenotype and was treated by reduction mammoplasty with breast tissue removal, which was effective and produced good cosmetic and psychologic results.

Gynecomastia is the most common condition affecting the male breast due to enlargement of both ductal and stromal tissue. Growth of the male breast can be manifested at any age, but 40% of cases present in adolescent boys. The condition depends mainly on the balance between serum estrogens and androgens. Gynecomastia represents a source of embarrassment, and optimal correction is difficult to achieve. Numerous methods of gynecomastia repair are available. Our method is a combination of liposuction and the pull-through technique. The purpose of this treatment is to resect excess tissue and restore the normal chest contour with minimal scarring. We report a case of gynecomastia treated with a combination of tumescent liposuction and the pull-through technique.

Gynecomastia refers to persistent enlargement of the breast in males caused by enlargement of the breast bud and surrounding stroma. It typically occurs in newborns, during early adolescence, and in late adulthood. There are several pathological causes. If no pathological cause is evident, gynecomastia is considered idiopathic. The reported prevalence of unilateral gynecomastia is approximately 35% to 45%, but most previous reports have focused on distinctive pathologic causes. As such, few previous reports of idiopathic unilateral gynecomastia during early adolescence have been published. Herein, we report a case of idiopathic unilateral gynecomastia in an adolescent male.
