A 16-year-old male with gynecomastia and ductal carcinoma in situ.
While gynecomastia is common in adolescents, male breast cancer in the pediatric population is exceedingly rare. Occasional reports describe malignant and pre-malignant lesions in mastectomy specimens for gynecomastia in young adults. We present a 16-year-old male with unilateral gynecomastia discovered to have ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), treated by mastectomy with 4 year follow-up.
