Overview

Breast lumps causes can be classified to various groups according to gender and age. Causes of female breast mass could be cancer, inflammatory, infectious, hormonal imbalance, trauma. Male breast enlargement identified as gynecomastia. Causes of gynecomastia may be multifactorial, hormonal imbalance, genetic factors, endocrine factors.Breast lumps may develop among children and adolescents, however, there are probably benign ones and related to peripubertal and pubertal phases.
