This man wanted treatment for his one side gynecomastia.*

This patient was a gym rat. But, no matter how hard he worked on his chest, he was unable to get rid of his enlarged left breast. He came to see Dr. Manish Shah in Denver, Colorado and was diagnosed with gynecomastia, or enlargement of the male breast. This problem most commonly affects both the right and left breast to varying degrees, so unilateral enlargement is less common. Unilateral breast enlargement is more concerning for abnormal problems like breast cancer or testicular cancer. Fortunately for this patient, his breast tissue was benign.
