Commentaire d’Albert Leriche, Unité d’Urologie, Hôpital
Henry Gabrielle, Saint Genis Laval.
Cet article très intéressant expose de manière claire, synthétique
et concise une pathologie à laquelle tout urologue a été confron-
té un jour ou l’autre.Cet article représente une véritable mise au
point de la gynécomastie en citant de façon exhaustive les dif-
férentes étiologies et en donnant une conduite à tenir claire et
précise.
Outre l’examen clinique et le bilan biologique hormonal, l’écho-
graphie testiculaire doit bien évidemment être réalisée, d’après
nous, au moindre doute.

SUMMARY
Gynaecomastia : a review.
Gynaecomastia is the least rare manifestation of the male breast
disease. Urologists must therefore be able to distinguish the
various forms of gynaecomastia, eliminate a testicular tumour
and identify the main causes by performing a simple but com -
plete assessment. Medical treatment is fairly disappointing.
Surgical treatment is required in patients presenting with com -
plications or when persistent gynaecomastia is aesthetically
bothersome.
Key words : Gynaecomastia, androgens, testicular cancer,
adverse effects, drugs.
