Learning objectives The primary aim of this article is to explore the different aspects of male breast pathology and highlight the role of imaging in its diagnosis and management.
Read more Background Male breast pathology, though rare, poses significant diagnostic and management challenges. Understanding the imaging characteristics is crucial for accurate assessment.The majority of breast lesions in men are benign, with gynecomastia being by far the most common etiology. characterized by the growth of breast tissue following hormonal changes.Breast cancer is rare, accounting for about 1% of cases. Its incidence is too low to justify routine screening.Other breast conditions originate from skin and subcutaneous tissues, such as lipomas, fat necrosis, adipomastia, abscesses,...
Read more Findings and procedure details Main breast conditions in men Gynecomastia Gynecomastia is a very common benign condition (found in up to 55% of male breasts in autopsy series). It corresponds to breast enlargement due to the proliferation of ducts and stromal tissue, secondary to an increased estrogen-to-testosterone ratio.The causes of these hormonal changes are numerous and often physiological in adolescents and men over 60. They can also result from endocrine disorders, certain neoplasms, systemic diseases, or medication use. Clinical Aspects: Gynecomastia affects 32% to 65% of the...
Read more Conclusion Early and precise imaging of male breast pathology is crucial for appropriate management. Increased awareness among healthcare professionals and enhanced imaging techniques contribute to better outcomes. As research progresses, there is a need for standardized guidelines to optimize imaging strategies for male breast diseases.
