title: [Mammographic findings of gynecomastia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the features of gynecomastia displayed by mammography.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twelve patients with gynecomastia were examined with a high-performance GITTO-TECH mammograph (IMS Company, Italy), and the results were compared with those obtained from pathological examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 12 cases were pathologically confirmed as gynecomastia, 10 of which were also identified by mammography while 2 misdiagnosed as male breast cancer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Diagnosis of gynecomastia can be established when typical features are presented in mammography, and fine needle aspiration biopsy can be performed when possible for discrimination from male breast cancer.
