Gynecomastia
Description
General anesthesia is usually used, but local anesthesia and IV sedation may be
preferred. Gynecomastia is enlargement of the male breast. The causes of gynecomastia
include chromosome abnormalities such as Klinefelter’s syndrome, renal
or hepatic disease, endocrine dysfunction, exogenous or endogenous hormones,
and other drugs, particularly cimetidine and marijuana. Incidence increases with
increasing age.
