Gynecomastia, as an Extremely Rare Presentation of Chest Wall Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Articles
,
Abstract
Male breast enlargement as gynecomastia may be as a sign of underlying systemic diseases. Male breast malignancy is also considered in differential diagnosis. We present a young man with primary chest wall lymphoma as gynecomastia, without pre-existing problem or other disease. Here, we present his clinical manifestation, management, and his early outcome. Chest wall lymphoma as an initial presentation of isolated chest wall mass in males is a rare clinical entity and its presentation as gynecomastia is even extremely unusual.
