Overview
Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination.If a malignant cause is suspicious during gynecomastia work up, a biopsy from the breast tissue may be helpful to confirm or rule out breast cancer diagnosis.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy findings associated with gynecomastia include:[1]
- proliferation of breast ducts
- Increase in connective tissue
Long standing gynecomastia may show hyalinization of the stroma and fibrosis along with an increase in the number of ducts.[1][1]
In gynecomastia, a biopsy should be done to confirm breast cancer, if there are suspicious findings on imaging or clinical examination.[2][3][4]
