From Wikipedia.org
Gynecomastia (American
English) or gynaecomastia (British
English) is the development of abnormally large
breasts on men. The term comes from the
Greek gyne meaning "woman" and mastos meaning
"breast". The condition can occur physiologically in neonates,
in adolescents, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys, 90% of
such cases the symptoms disappear in a matter of months to a few
years at most. It is generally a result of an imbalance in
hormones, although there are many different root causes.
Gynecomastia is not simply a buildup of
adipose tissue, but includes the development of glandular
tissue as well.
