Abstract
A case of a man with the recent onset of painful bilateral firm gynecomastia is reported. Mammography confirmed increased breast density. Biopsy characterized both masses as metastases of a small-cell lung tumor. This case highlights the atypical presentation and complements the literature regarding the rarity of breast metastases from small-cell lung cancer in men. Teaching point: Bilateral gynecomastia in a man with a long history of cigarette smoking should be considered with caution.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
