Breast Lump In Teen Male? Posted: 06-08-07 17:56pm
Hi. My 13-year old son found a small lump
directly under his left nipple maybe a 8
months to a year ago. He is pretty skinny.
He says it doesn't hurt and he isn't
experiencing any other symptoms; it's
maybe 1.5 cm in diameter and hasn't really
changed in size (He says that one wouldn't
be able to see it at all). It also seems
to be attached to the skin. We consulted
his pediatrician about this, but it they
said it was just breast tissue formed
during puberty. Could this be wrong and
should we be worried?

Hmm. Good question. Getting a second
opinion probably wouldn't hurt.
