This case series describes the radiologic appearances of gynecomastoid hyperplasia of the breast in our experience. The clinical histories, breast images, and histopathologic findings in six women were reviewed. At mammography, there was no abnormality in two women, an enlarging asymmetric density in three women, and a nodule in one woman. Breast ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic nodule in one woman. Gynecomastoid hyperplasia has a varied radiologic appearance.
