male teen breast lump

Thank you for your SharePost. Although your son has already been examined for the small lumps under his breasts, I agree you should consider getting a second opinion, preferably by a specialist.

Although it's rare, male breast cancer does occur, and any warning signs of possible development, such as breast lumps, should be thoroughly evaluated.

Best of luck to you and your son.  - M 

My son is 16 and has a lump in one of his breast.  I took him to our family doctor who sent us to a surgeon , who recommended surgery.   He said that breast cancer in a teen male is basically not heard of , but he said the lump would not go away on its own.   We are opting for the surgery in a few weeks .  Although this does make me very nervous.  I hope we are making the right decision.
