Abstract

Yordan P Yordanov and Aylin Shef

Over the last 50 years a great variety of etiologic factors for gynecomastia have been investigated and discussed. However, the possible role of the chronic and acute tissue trauma still remains unclear. The authors report on and discussed the possible role of a single episode of acute trauma as a trigger mechanism for the onset of breast enlargement.
