Overview
Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination. Mammogram can be done in gynecomastia when physical findings of a patient raise suspicion of breast cancer.
Other Imaging Findings
Mammogram
- There are no mammogram findings associated with gynecomastia. However, a mammogram may be helpful for ruling out other causes of breast enlargement including malignant breast lesions.[1]
- Mammogram has 100 percent sensitivity and a high negative predictive value of detecting malignant breast lesions.[2]
- Positive predictive value of mammogram studies is 55 percent. It is mainly done in gynecomastia, if history and physical examination of patient raise any malignancy suspicions.[3][4]
