Gynecomastia is a temporary condition of breast enlargement in males. It is most commonly seen in infants, at puberty, and in older males. In older males it may accompany hormonal treatment for prostate cancer. Cancer of the breast in males typically manifests as a hard nodule fixed to the nipple and underlying tissue, and nipple discharge may be present. Gynecomastia is not associated with infection of the breast.
