Abstract

Introduction: Gynecomastia is a benign proliferation of the glandular tissue of the breast in males. Depending on the age, it can be considered a physiological condition. Prepubertal unilateral gynecomastia is a rare phenomenon. There are only a few case reports described through the last few years.

Case presentation: We report the clinical appearance and management of prepubertal idiopathic unilateral gynecomastia in a 9-year-old boy. We further include a literature review of 14 cases from 2011 to 2021. In contrast to pubertal gynecomastia, prepubertal gynecomastia and especially unilateral prepubertal gynecomastia are extremely rare conditions. Most cases remain idiopathic.

Conclusion: Chromosomal and genetic testing, as well as oncological, endocrine diagnostic and tests for liver and kidney function should be performed. In case of idiopathic prepubertal gynecomastia, surgery is an important part of therapy since patients suffer from their atypical and rare phenotype.

简介:男性乳房发育症是男性乳腺腺组织的良性增生。根据年龄的不同，它可以被认为是一种生理状况。青春期前单侧男性乳房发育是一种罕见的现象。在过去的几年里，只有少数病例报告被描述过。病例介绍:我们报告一个9岁男孩的青春期前特发性单侧男性乳房发育症的临床表现和处理。我们进一步纳入了2011年至2021年14例病例的文献综述。相对于青春期男性乳房发育，青春期前男性乳房发育，尤其是单侧青春期前男性乳房发育是极为罕见的情况。大多数病例仍然是特发性的。结论:应进行染色体和基因检测，以及肿瘤、内分泌诊断和肝肾功能检查。对于特发性青春期前男性乳房发育症，手术治疗是治疗的重要组成部分，因为患者的表型不典型和罕见。
