An unusual cause of breast enlargement in a 5-year-old boy.
A 5-year-old male developed painless enlargement of the left breast and was found to have a soft, mobile, and nontender swelling that was excised. Histological examination revealed a galactocele, which is a very rare cause of breast enlargement in male infants and children.
