title: [Gynecomastia--an indication of a malignant chorionepithelioma in the male].
abstract: The course of the disease in a 26-year-old patient showed that also an endocrinological clinical picture may be the basis of a gynaecomastia. Here the symptom gynaecomastia was bilaterally conditioned by a malignant chorion epithelioma. By this tumour a feminisation with gynaecomastia, atrophy of the testicles and positive HCG-test developes. The ascertainment of the diagnosis is possible with the help of the HCG-test. In the early diagnosis of a malignant chorion epithelioma new therapeutic consequences arise by cytostatic drugs.
