[Gynecomastia: diagnosis and therapy update].
The Authors report their experience in the management of gynaecomastia. Physiologic, pathologic and iatrogenic causes of the lesion, as well as possible interfering mechanisms, and diagnostic protocol are examined. When there is no spontaneous regression or when the precipitating factors are eliminated surgery is the therapeutical choice, also because it helps in resolving the related psychological problems affecting these patients.
