Gynecomastia
Abstract
Gynecomastia, a benign enlargement of the male breast due to proliferation of the glandular component, is a common clinical condition. It may be an incidental finding on routine examination or may present as an acute unilateral or bilateral painful tender mass beneath the areolar region or as a progressive painless enlargement of the breast. This topic was last reviewed in the Journal in 1980,1 and much of the recent literature has focused on the prevalence, pathogenesis, and treatment of the condition.PrevalencePalpable breast glandular tissue is so prevalent in population studies of men and boys115 (Table 1) that . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
