Abstract:

Gynecomastia is the proliferation of breast tissue in men. The purpose of this study was to compare psychological functioning across three groups of participants: treatment seeking men with gynecomastia, non treatment seeking men with gynecomastia, and men without gynecomastia. Though very little research has been done with this population, some research suggests poor psychological outcomes of gynecomastia. MANCOVA was used to test differences in psychological functioning across the three groups, and multiple regression was used to predict quality of life from psychological variables. Significant differences emerged between groups, with men with gynecomastia reporting worse psychological functioning. Additionally, no theoretical model for body image currently exists for men with gynecomastia. As such, the Tripartite Influence Model of Body Image was examined in this population through used of mediation analyses. Results confirmed partial support of this model for this population. This study was the first to examine treatment seeking status as a potential moderator of psychological functioning in men with gynecomastia and provides a theoretical model of body image to guide future research in this area.

Abstract:

Main findings A case is presented of a Leydig cell neoplasm in a 25 year-old male patient with no classic risk factors with an atypical outcome. The tumour mass was histologically analysed and was found to have features compatible with a germ cell neoplasm. A right orchiectomy was performed, followed by chemotherapy. After treatment, pulmonary metastasis, lymph nodes, and peri-hepatic hydronephrosis were found. The patient died two months after his last hospital admission. Case hypothesis Leydig cell tumours account for 1% to 3% of all testicular tumours. They occur at any age, especially in children, and between the third and sixth decade of life. Around 90% are benign, and 10% are malignant; these latter usually occurring between 50 and 60 years old, and are associated with sizes larger than 5 cm and gynecomastia. Finally, it is difficult to predict the development of the disease based on histopathological observations. Promising future implications Although non-germ cell tumours are rare, it is important to consider them in the differential diagnosis of testicular tumours, particularly in those of non-seminoma origin. Immunohistochemistry is useful for the differentiation of testicular tumours in those cases when conventional histology shows no conclusive findings.
Hallazgos principales Reportamos un caso de neoplasia de células de Leydig en un paciente varón de 25 años, sin factores de riesgo clásicos con evolución tórpida. Se analizó la histopatología de la masa tumoral y se encontró malignidad por lo que se decide realizar orquiectomía derecha, seguida de quimioterapia. Luego del tratamiento se halla metástasis pulmonar, adenopatías perihepáticas e hidronefrosis, falleciendo 2 meses después de su último ingreso hospitalario. Hipótesis del caso El tumor de células de Leydig representa entre el 1-3% de todos los tumores testiculares. Se presentan a cualquier edad; sobre todo en la infancia y en la 3.a-6.a década de la vida. Aproximadamente el 90% son de curso benigno y el 10% son malignos, presentándose sobre todo entre la 5.a y la 6.a década de la vida, y están asociados con un tamaño > 5 cm y ginecomastia. Finalmente, es difícil predecir el comportamiento en términos histológicos. Repercusiones a futuro A pesar que los tumores de células no germinales son poco frecuentes, es importante considerarlos como diagnóstico para brindar el tratamiento óptimo y evitar resultados desafortunados.

Abstract:

Gynecomastia is a benign condition manifesting as enlarged breasts in men and boys. This increased breast tissue is caused by excess fibroglandular deposits and is caused by hormonal imbalances, commonly due to estrogen excess or from various drugs, such as spironolactone, ketoconazole, cimetidine, ranitidine, and specific HIV therapies. Patients generally present with bilateral subareolar enlarged breasts (however, unilateral gynecomastia also occurs), which commonly exhibit tenderness on palpation, swelling, palpable lumps, or nipple discharge. This chapter reviews the important imaging protocols, pitfalls, differential diagnoses, radiology–pathology correlation, and management recommendations for gynecomastia and cancer of the male breast. Topics discussed include gynecomastia, breast cancer, pseudogynecomastia, hypogonadism, and lymphangioma.

Abstract:

Male breast cancer (MMC) corresponds to 0.5% of cases of malignant neoplasms in men. Among the associated risk factors are black ethnicity, age over 60 years, family history, BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, Klinefelter syndrome, the use of exogenous estrogen, gynecomastia, obesity, and a history of chest radiation. Regarding diagnosis and treatment, the standard trend for female breast cancer is still followed, with few studies in men. We report the case of an 81-yearold black patient with few risk factors exposed in the literature. On physical examination at entry, he presented an exophytic lesion in the right breast and palpable and hardened lymph nodes in the right axillary region. With an established diagnosis of nonspecial type invasive carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma without other specifications by previous biopsy, a modified right radical mastectomy was performed with right axillary dissection and according to the pathological examination with pT4b pN1 pMx staging. Thus, as a result of the good evolution of the condition, the patient was discharged 2 days after the surgery to the oncology clinic, in order to monitor the condition.

Abstract:

Male breast cancer (MBC) is an uncommon disease representing only 1% of the total cases. This low incident rate could be due to the low amount of breast tissue and the hormonal differences between men and women. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result (SEER) program reported that the incidence rate of breast cancer was 1.1 per 100,000 men in the mid-1970s and raised to 1.44 per 100,000 men by 2010. There are a lot of characteristics that are common to male and female breast carcinomas, especially given the fact that a lot of the factors that influence malignant changes are similar, but there are also some singularities. In this matter, it is important to understand the existence of risk factors for MBC, particularly the genetic abnormalities, such as BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 mutations. Therefore, a man with this type of predisposition is more likely to develop breast cancer, especially if submitted to an immunosuppressive therapy, normally used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs. This study aimed to report a case of a patient with chronic alcoholism history, who later developed a liver tumor and breast cancer. This patient reported gynecomastia, which could be related to his health condition, given the fact that liver failure and cirrhosis probably started preventing the inactivation of the estrogens by the liver, causing and stimulating proliferation of the mammary tissue, and increasing the chance of gene mutations. We report a 56-year-old man with a history of smoking, chronic alcoholism, and gynecomastia with 10 years of evolution who was diagnosed with cirrhosis and liver tumor in 2014. He underwent two sessions of a chemoradiotherapy treatment, resulting in reduction of the tumor size as a result. In 2015, the patient had a liver transplant. To prevent organ rejection, it was established an immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus 10 mg/day and myfortic 720 mg/day. In 2016, the patient noticed a breast lump and searched for medical assistance. At the appointment, after physical examination, the presence of a 2-×2-cm lump in the right breast was confirmed. A few examinations were requested, such as ultrasonography, which showed a BIRADS4 as a result, chest tomography, and abdominal tomography. The examinations concluded that the lump had a high probability of malignancy. Then, to confirm the suspicion, it was proposed the performance of a fine-needle aspiration of the lump was followed by a core biopsy. The results showed an invasive breast carcinoma positive for estrogen receptors, negative for progesterone receptors, negative for HER-2 oncoprotein, and KI67 5%. Therefore, the molecular classification by immunohistochemistry is a LUMINAL A, which indicates the possibility of a better prognosis. A few days later, the patient was submitted for a radical mastectomy on the right breast. During the surgery, it was also performed a sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) scintigraphy and analysis of the material collected from the right breast. The conclusion expressed positive screening for malignant cells, two lymph nodes compromised by macrometastasis (large focus measuring 1.2 cm with capsular transposition associated) and positive screening for malignant cells suggestive of carcinoma. The tumor, according to a grading system, presented a Scarff-Bloom Richardson modified by Elston and Ellis grade III, with tubular grade 3, nuclear grade 3, and mitotic index 2. It was also identified as focal tumor necrosis, vascular invasion, and perineural invasion. The pathological staging of the tumor was pT2 pN1a (SN+) pMx.

Abstract:

Introduction: Despite the rare incidence of malignant breast pathologies in men, it is extremely important to pay attention to any complaints related to breast alterations in men. Benign and malignant breast diseases are uncommon in men. In addition, most of the male population can be careless when it comes to their own health, especially in breast diseases, commonly seen as an exclusive condition for women. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological profile of male patients treated at the Mastology Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Lagoa’s Federal Hospital (HFL), a tertiary health institution. Methods: In total, 40 medical records of patients who were assisted during 2020 and 2021 were evaluated. Results: The majority of patients were between 30 and 70 years old, and the major complaints (97%) were related to a tumor or to breast volume increase. Sixty percent of the patients were diagnosed with gynecomastia and, as a consequence, have been regularly observed throughout appointments since then. Some of these patients (12.5%) have reported the use of anabolic substances before the discovery. The breast cancer incidence in this male population was 22.5% during this period, and the patients affected by malignant tumors were between 47 and 74 years old. Most patients with breast cancer smoked (55%) and drank alcohol (22%). No patient had breast cancer in family history and only one patient was related to a family history of prostate cancer. A total of 66.6% of the male breast cancer in this study population was positive for hormone receptors, and the papillary carcinoma of the breast was the predominant histological type (44.4%). Conclusion: As other studies indicate, all of the patients were in an advanced stage of the disease since the first appointment at HFL. Low educational level, no knowledge about possible male breast cancer, insecurity, shyness and fear of possible social judgments about breast increase (especially in older patients), and carelessness when it comes to their own health were the preponderant factors for a clinically advanced disease among the patients at HFL. These factors were also relevant for a bad adaptation to the treatment, as well as emotional shakiness during therapy and follow-up: some patients showed symptoms such as apathy, deep sadness, and even depression. The male population assisted by the Mastology Clinic at HFL has similar features as the ones in equivalent studies. This research confirms the necessity of an increase in male’s Health Care Education, family participation during treatment, and interdisciplinary care, considering the physical and emotional consequences of such diagnosis.
