Male breast can show almost all pathological entities described in female breast. Inflammatory conditions of the breast in male are not common; however, occasionally, it can be encountered in the form of an abscess. Clinically, gynecomastia always presents as a symmetric unilateral or bilateral lump in the retroareolar region, and any irregular asymmetric lump raises a possibility of malignancy. Radiology should be used as a part of the triple assessment protocol for breast lump along with fine-needle aspiration cytology for definite diagnosis and proper management.
男性乳房可呈现出女性乳房中描述的几乎所有病理情况。男性乳房的炎症性疾病并不常见；然而，偶尔会以脓肿的形式出现。临床上，男性乳腺增生总是表现为乳晕后区域对称的单侧或双侧肿块，任何不规则不对称肿块都增加了恶性肿瘤的可能性。放射学应作为乳房肿块三联评估方案的一部分，同时结合细针穿刺细胞学检查以明确诊断并进行适当管理。
