Abstract Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare entity that destroys the bone matrix resulting mainly in osteolysis, pain and pathologic fractures among a broader clinical picture. We report a case of a 60-year-old female with a sudden discovery of pathologic fractures in the pelvis and the absence of the left femoral head. On biopsy, no cellular atypia was found, instead disturbed bone formation with prominent vascularity with scattered foci of necrosis & osteolysis, which lead to the diagnosis of GSD. Possible differential diagnoses were discussed and excluded. The patient was put on Bisphosphonate that led to a relative improvement in the symptoms. This disease needs a more thorough investigation to identify the key cause, what is beyond the scope of this report.

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.

Breast carcinoma in men is rare and intra-cystic papillary carcinoma of male breast is an extremelyrare entity. Papillary lesions of male breast comprise of the spectrum of lesions ranging from benignintraductal papilloma to intraductal papillary carcinoma and invasive papillary carcinoma. It occursmost commonly in the seventh decade of life and accounts for <1% of all breast malignancies. Thepresent case report is of a comparatively younger, 37 years old male who presented with a mass onlower quadrant (retro-areolar region) of the left breast.

Abstract Objective Parenchymal breast cysts are considered to be rare in men and are sparsely described in the literature. The purpose of this study was to review our institution’s experience with male breast cysts in an effort to improve overall understanding and management of this rare entity. Methods An institutional review board–exempt retrospective study was performed. Radiology reports for males who underwent mammogram and/or breast ultrasound at any of our institution’s primary or satellite locations from January 1995 to January 2020 were screened to find males with breast cysts. If cysts were reported and images were available, case review was performed to confirm parenchymal breast cyst(s) and patient characteristics were collated. Results Of 5425 male cases presenting for breast imaging, 19 (0.4%) cases of male breast cysts were confirmed, with a mean patient age of 41.6 years (range: 2–81 years). The most common indication leading to cyst discovery was a palpable lump, corresponding to the site of the cyst in 5 (26.3%) patients and near the site where cyst(s) were ultimately discovered in 7 (36.8%) patients. There were 8 (42.1%) instances of cysts without concurrent gynecomastia. Three (15.8%) men underwent needle sampling. There were no cases of atypia or malignancy on needle biopsy or on subsequent clinical follow-up, with median clinical follow-up of 70.3 months (range: 3.3–259.4 months). Conclusion Male breast parenchymal cysts are rare, but their prevalence is likely underestimated. If detected incidentally or upon targeted evaluation, biopsy may be averted if classic benign cyst features are identified.
