Abstract
Breast enlargement is no doubt a serious cosmetic concern for some boys and men, but rarely is it a reason for medical alarm. Several obvious and easily correctable factors can result in this disorder, and only when clinical suspicion is high should the physician invest time and effort searching for obscure and serious causes. In this article, Dr Lucas and her coauthors describe the clinical conditions and drugs associated with gynecomastia and recommend an effective approach to diagnosis and treatment.Keywords
