title: Unilateral and painless development of isoniazid induced gynecomastia during re-treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
abstract: A case of isoniazid induced gynecomastia is being reported in an 18-year old male, who received a re-treatment regimen for the relapse of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). At the end of two months of the treatment, the patient developed a painless unilateral gynecomastia, which completely disappeared after a month of the cessation of isoniazid. A review of literature on isoniazid induced gynecomastia is discussed.
