Gynaecomastia: a review.

Gynaecomastia is the least rare manifestation of the male breast disease. U rologists must therefore be able to distinguish the various forms of gynaec omastia, eliminate a testicular tumour and identify the main causes by perf orming a simple but complete assessment. Medical treatment is fairly disapp ointing. Surgical treatment is required in patients presenting with complic ations or when persistent gynaecomastia is aesthetically bothersome.
