Results
Of 406 patients, 339 (84%) had mono/bilateral gynecomastia, 21 (5%) were asymptomatic or presented with a benign lesion (lipoma, pseudo-gynecomastia, cyst or inflammation), 46 (11%) underwent biopsy (50 biopsies in total) for suspicious or highly suggestive of malignancy lesions (BI-RADS 4 -5). Of the last group, 26/46 (57%) had a benign lesion while 20/46 (43%) had a malignant breast cancer.
The benign lesions were 18 gynecomastia, 2 tubular fibro-adenomatosis, 1 fibro-myolipoma, 1 intraductal papilloma, 1 inflammation, 1 fibrosis and 2 a rare benign tumor: Abrikossoff granular cell tumor
and breast myofibroblastoma
.
The malignant lesions included 13 invasive ductal carcinoma, 1 chest wall sarcoma and 6 rare tumors. In particular, we found an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the breast
, a synchronous bilateral breast cancer (both invasive ductal)
, a synchronous bilateral tumor (invasive ductal carcinoma and encapsulated papillary carcinoma)
, a unilateral synchronous tumor (invasive ductal and invasive papillary tumor)
, a mixed mucinous carcinoma
and an invasive papillary carcinoma
.
