[Gynecomastia in testicular tumors].

The incidence of gynaecomastia among 224 patients treated between 1981 and 1989 for testicular cancer was studied retrospectively. Gynaecomastia was present as an initial symptom in 25 (11%) patients and developed after chemotherapy or radiotherapy in 19 (9%) patients. Gynaecomastia was mainly seen in patients with high tumour stages. It therefore points to an unfavourable prognosis.
