To evaluate the characteristics of presentation, biochemical profile, and etiology of gynecomastia in adults. Methods. Medical records of 237 men aged 18-85 years with gynecomastia were evaluated. Results. Highest prevalence of gynecomastia was observed between 21 and 30 years (n = 74; 31.2%). The most common presenting complaints were aesthetic concerns (62.8%) and breast pain (51.2%). 25.3% of the subjects had a history of pubertal gynecomastia. 56.5% had bilateral gynecomastia. 39.9% were overweight and 22.8% were obese. The etiology could not be identified in 45.1% of the cases; the most frequent identified causes were anabolic steroids consumption (13.9%), hypogonadism (11.1%), and use of pharmaceutical drugs (7.8%). Patients with bilateral gynecomastia had a longer history of disease, higher BMI, and lower testosterone levels. Conclusions. Patients with gynecomastia presented more often with aesthetic concerns and secondarily with breast pain. The most frequent fin...
