Pubertätsgynäkomastie

Abstract: Zur Pubertätszeit beobachtet man bei Knaben häufig eine geringgradige Vergrößerung der Brustdrüsen; diese Gynäkomastie verschwindet meist nach einiger Zeit wieder, so daß der Arzt dem Knaben und dessen Eltern nur die Harmlosigkeit der Störung erklären muß.

“…Initial examinations of estrogens in urine of male adolescents demonstrated increased estrogen production in patients with pubertal gynecomastia [18,19,22], but these observations were not confirmed by more specific methods [6,13]. Changes in androgenestrogen ratio during adolescent development are also discussed [3,5,7,10,20,21,26]. Testosterone levels in 5 patients with pubertal gyneeomastia examined by Wieland [26] were similar to those observed in a large group of normal adolescents.…”

“…The extensive discussions about possible causes, especially the relevancy of pituitary hormones [5,9,10,20,24,26] cannot be repeated in detail, but one observation of our estrogen studies in patients suffering from congenital adrenal hyperplasia may contribute to the discussion and is mentioned here: in spite of some very high estrogen levels in untreated or inadequately treated patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, we did not see gynecomastia in this group [2]. Only after treatment and with the onset of gonadotropin-induced puberty was breast enlargement observed in a few cases.…”
