Popis | Gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, is usually caused by hormonal imbalances between estrogen and testosterone levels. However, it can also be caused by a multitude of factors, such as tumors, obesity, hypogonadism, androgen insensitivity syndrome, thyrotoxicosis, or the use of numerous medications. As an example, we present a patient with gynecomastia which developed after a long-term treatment with bicalutamide for prostate cancer. Due to this adverse effect of his medication, our patient experienced significant anxiety and discomfort in his daily life. Therefore, a bilateral mastectomy in combination with liposuction was chosen for his treatment. Since drug-induced gynecomastia contributes to almost a quarter of all gynecomastia cases, we provide an overview of various other medications responsible for this condition. |
