Abstract
Coexistent gynaecomastia was observed in 2 patients with thyrotoxicosis and in 1 with an active malignant thyroid adenoma. During treatment of the thyrotoxicosis the gynaecomastia disappeared completely in 1 of the patients. Mastectomy was performed on the other 2 patients. The pathogenesis of gynaecomastia is discussed on the basis of the findings made in a fairly extensive endocrine study of 2 of the patients, and the possible aetiological factors are discussed.Keywords
