TOPIC 1: HORMONAL CHANGES IN ADOLESCENTS
4 Questions • 15.4% of Exam • Focuses on hormonal imbalances and physical changes during puberty.
QUESTION 1
A 14-year-old junior high school student is brought in by his mother and father because
he seems to be developing breasts. The mother is upset because she read on the
Internet that smoking marijuana leads to breast enlargement in males. The young man
adamantly denies using any tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. He has recently noticed
changes in his penis, testicles, and pubic hair pattern. Otherwise, his past medical
history is unremarkable. His parents are both in good health. He has two older brothers
who never had this problem. On examination you see a mildly overweight teenager with
enlarged breast tissue that is slightly tender on both sides. Otherwise his examination
is normal. He is agreeable to taking a drug test.
What is the most likely cause of his gynecomastia?
Answer: Imbalance of hormones of puberty.
Rationale: Puberty induces hormonal fluctuations, specifically an increase in estrogen relative to testosterone, which can
lead to transient gynecomastia in adolescents. This condition is typically benign and resolves as hormonal levels stabilize
over time.
QUESTION 2
A 30-year-old man notices a firm, 2-cm mass under his areola. He has no other
symptoms and no diagnosis of breast cancer in his first-degree relatives. What is the
most likely diagnosis?
Answer: Breast tissue - Approximately one third of adult men will have palpable breast tissue under the
areola. While males can have breast cancer, this is much less common. There are no lymph nodes in this
area.
Rationale: Palpable breast tissue in men, particularly beneath the areola, is a common anatomical variation resulting from
the presence of glandular tissue, which can occur without malignancy. Given the absence of symptoms, family history of
breast cancer, and the prevalence of this condition, a benign diagnosis is most likely.
