“…The use of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist to decrease testosterone levels for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer has contributed to the development of gynecomastia and fibroadenoma (9). Gynecomastia has also been associated with digitalis and spironolactone (14), which interfere with the production of testosterone and its conversion to the potent metabolite, 5-alfa-dihydrotestosterone (4,10). Cimetidine is also a precursor of gynecomastia (15).…”

Truth or myth is seldom encountered in the practice of surgery, especially in cases of breast diseases. Yet, even after thousands of years of treating breast disease by surgeons/healers, fibroadenoma in the male breast seems to be a myth, due to the absence of fibro-glandular tissue. We wish to break this myth by our own experience as well as other studies by others all over the world, and unveil the truth that fibroadenoma in the male breast is a definitive entity and has a prevalence among the vast spectrum of breast diseases.

“…Pericanalicular fibroadenomas show fibrous stromal proliferation around the ductal spaces that allow the duct spaces to remain round or oval. In the male breast, fibroepithelial tumors are very rare, and are mostly phyllodes tumors [3,4]. The histogeneses of fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumors of the breast appears to be closely related.…”

Fibroadenoma, the most common breast tumor in adolescent women, usually arises in the terminal duct lobular unit, but is exceedingly rare in the male breast. The usual presentation is a painless, firm, mobile, and slow-growing lump in the breast of a woman of childbearing age. Its diagnosis is usually made by clinical examination, but ultrasound, mammography, and fine-needle aspiration often help in its confirmation. We are presenting here a rare but interesting case of a large fibroadenoma, which was present in a male breast.

“…Because of its rarity in males, the disease is associated with a high risk of error in diagnosis, particularly when associated with gynecomastia. In these cases, focal squamous metaplasia [34] and extreme epithelial hyperplasia [35] may simulate DCIS.…”
