📋Overview
This condition involves the proliferation of glandular tissue in the male breast, often triggered by an altered ratio between estrogen and androgen activity. Such developments are considered common clinical findings and are typically benign in nature.
It is clinically distinct from pseudogynecomastia, which refers to the accumulation of adipose tissue in the chest area without the presence of glandular growth. Proper identification is necessary to differentiate between true glandular enlargement and excess fat deposits.
