Overview

The diagnosis of gynecomastia is based on the clinical examination and exclusion of pseudo gynecomastia or breast cancer.

Diagnostic Criteria

• There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of gynecomastia.
• The diagnosis of gynecomastia is mainly based on clinical examination which helps to differentiate from pseudo gynecomastia and breast cancer.
• If the diagnosis is not clear clinically, a diagnostic mammography can be done which has 90 percent sensitivity and specificity.
