Women can not get gynocomastia

After submission of our manuscript, a report describing gynecomastia-like lesions in the female breast was published by Umlas (Arch Pathol Lab Med. 2000;124:844-847). In his report, he described gynecomastia-like lesions as a pure clinical entity. Four of his cases were palpable lesions and were entirely made up of gynecomastia-like changes. In contrast, our study indicated that our cases occurred as incidental findings and were without specific clinical, mammographic, or gross findings. We believe that our cases correspond to 3 additional cases that Umlas described as gynecomastia-like areas.

Now going back to it. IMO I feel Ms bombshell felt she had something out of the ordinary for her. Was she right and scientifically correct for calling this problem gyno? Well the odds and evidence Are in your favor on that one Mr jerseystepup. But the question still remains. Did you absolutely positively have to be a Prick about it?????????????????? I really don't think you did. I don't think anyone else on this forum is going to agree with you if you think the answer to that question is yes ether.

Thanks You and have a great day.
