Male Breast Cancer Overview
Men are not exempt from developing breast cancer. It is much more rare in men, but since both males and females carry some breast tissue, men need to be aware of their own risk of breast cancer, and the most common types of male breast cancer.

Gynecomastia: Prominent Male Breasts
Gynecomastia is a benign male breast condition in which a male has one or two prominent breasts. It is not considered to increase a man's risk of developing male breast cancer. Gynecomastia is not the same as Klinefelter syndrome, but it is one of the symptoms of Klinefelter's.

Klinefelter syndrome 47,XXY
Klinefelter syndrome is a rare genetic condition in which a man has an extra X chromosome. (Males usually have one X and one Y chromosome.) Some of the other conditions associated with Klinefelter are hypothyroidism, infertility, testicular cancer, and an increased risk for male breast cancer.
