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.

Low dose finasteride(1mg/d, Propecia(R)) has been widely used as an effective treatment for male androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride is an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for testosterone metabolism to dihydrotestosteron(DHT). We report a case of painful, unilateral idiopathic gynecomastia aggravated by low dose finasteride for male androgenetic alpopecia. A 23-year-old man started treatment with Propecia(R), 1 mg per day. Two months later he presented with a painful enlargement of his right breast. Treatment was stopped and two months later the clinical manifestration had disappeared.

PURPOSE: Subcutaneous mastectomy has been accepted as a standard for the treatment of gynecomastia. Surgical managements including ultrasound-assisted liposuction(UAL) have had limited success and several combined approaches were tried to find the most effective method. We designed a modified subcutaneous mastectomy, which we call "pan-cake method". The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of our method for the treatment of gynecomastia. METHODS: 16 patients from 16 to 31 years of age having gynecomastia were operated using the pan-cake method. 11 patients were in grade I, and 5 patients were in grade II, no patient were in grade III or IV, according to Rod's classification. The pan-cake method started with modified periareolar incision. We executed subcutaneous dissection first and suprafascial dissection next. After dividing the breast into four equal quadrants, we removed breast tissue from each quadrant as necessary. The operation time for the resection was recorded and the weight of removed parenchyme tissues was measured. RESULTS: All the operations were successful. There were no asymmetries, contour deformities, or irregularities. Only 6 cases needed the combined therapy with ultrasound-assisted liposuction(UAL) because of the step deformities. The average operation time was 24.1 minutes and the average weight of removed breast tissue was 98.1g. All the patients were satisfied with the aesthetic results. CONCLUSION: We concluded that the pan-cake method is an alternative option for the surgical treatment of gynecomastia, giving good aesthetic results and relatively short operation time.

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.
