AB Gynecomastia  is  the  benign  enlargement  of  the  glandular  tissue  of  the  male  breast.  It  is  clinically  defined  by  the  presence  of  a  mass  extending  concentrically  beneath  the  nipple  and  is  usually  bilateral.  Gynecomastia  is  categorized  as  physiological  (during  infancy,  puberty,  older  age)  or  pathological  (hypogonadism,  liver  disease,  hyperthyroidism,  drug-related).  The  glandular  changes  are  the  same,  regardless  of  the  etiology,  with  the  degree  of  glandular  proliferation  depending  on  the  duration  and  intensity  of  the  inciting  factor.
