Overview
Gynecomastia is diagnosed clinically after a thorough history and physical examination. Laboratory investigations and imaging studies can be helpful in the diagnosis of gynecomastia. Other diagnostic study in the work up for gynecomastia include biopsy, which helps to confirm the diagnosis of breast cancer.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy findings associated with gynecomastia include the proliferation of the ducts and increase in connective tissue.[1]
- 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 is done to confirm breast cancer, if there are suspicious findings on imaging or clinical examination.[2][3][4]
