Gynecomastia can be classified on the basis of clinical appearance, etiology or histopathology.
Gynecomastia has been classified by various systems mainly based on surgical management, the severity of gynecomastia, physical appearance, and etiology.

Overview

Gynecomastia has been classified by various systems mainly based on surgical management, the severity of gynecomastia, physical appearance, and etiology.

Classification

Different gynecomastia classification systems are:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
