Abstract
Gynecomastia  is a benign proliferation of the male mammary gland. It can be unilateral, but most often it is bilateral. It can appear either at birth, at puberty, or at an advanced age in men when it is physiological, or it can be pathological. A compl ete assessment must be carried out to find an etiology.Surgical treatment consists of removal of the gland with or without liposuction and resection of excess skin in necessary cases. An anatomopathological study is mandatory and important to detect an associated tumor. The request for surgery is most often for aesthetic purposes.
