Overview

Common known causes of gynecomastia include physiological hormonal changes, use of medications and pathological entities such as cirrhosishyperthyroidismtesticular tumors and hypogonadism. Less common causes include androgen insensitivity syndromeKallmann syndrome, defects of testosterone pathway and tumors.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. There are no known life-threatening causes of gynecomastia.
