Abstract

Aye M, Cabot JSF, Thanabalan MC and Baba S

Pubertal gynaecomastia is a common condition, usually disappearing within three years of onset. Enlargement of the breast rather than pain is the most common symptom. We report a case of painful severe persisting pubertal gynecomastia for more than four years in an adolescent boy requiring surgery; consider it’s the mechanism in puberty and the role of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test in its management.
