A man in his late 30’s with gynecomastia since puberty.  He was heavier as a child and had a maximum weight of 250 lb.  He took some anabolic prohormones in his early 20’s and developed some tenderness and increasing fullness of his breasts.    He has reduced his weight to 190 lbs but continues to have female appearing breasts which are prominent in fitted shirts and also bother him with his shirt off.  He wears extra shirts to try and camouflage the appearance.

He has a prominent rib cartilage on the left side which is more visible with the hands on the head view.
