Overview
Common known causes of gynecomastia include physiological hormonal changes, use of medications and pathological entities such as cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, testicular tumors and hypogonadism. Less common causes include androgen insensitivity syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, defects of testosterone pathway and tumors.
