Gynecomastia is common in men and boys at various stages of development and in association with certain medical conditions. True gynecomastia refers to enlarged glandular tissue rather than fat (adipose) tissue. The presence of fat tissue that appears in the breast area is known as pseudogynecomastia. Enalrged male breasts is the primary symptom of gynecomastia. Othe signs and symptoms are rubbery or firm nipples, tenderness, sensitivity, but typically, the condition is painless. In pseudogynecomastia, a condition that occurs in obese men, there is only fat deposition, found in the subareolar area. This is not pathologic or physiologic. Patients with pseudogynecomastia typically have bilateral deposition of fat, and, over time, these deposits do not change in shape or size.
