Abstract
Breast masses presenting in adolescent boys are rare and are almost uniformly owing
to gynecomastia. Although surgical referral for breast masses in adolescent boys is
common, intervention is typically for cosmesis. We report the case of a 14-year-old
boy who presented with an enlarging unilateral breast mass, which was found to be
owing to an intraductal papilloma at the time of surgical excision.
