This is typically caused by an increase in stromal (connective) and ductal tissue, however a serious underlying cause should always be considered. The incidence of occurrence in naval military exams is about 8 in 100,000. Gynecomastia is noted normally to some degree in pubescence with incidence as high as 65% in boys aged 14 to 15 years. By late teens this finding lessens to 7.7%. Cosmetic surgeons consider 3 grades:

I. a button of extra tissue under the areola (the pigmented area surrounding the nipple)

II. diffuse enlargement with indistinct peripheral margins.

III. further mass effect with excessive skin involvement.
