Hutchinson describes several cases of gynecomazia, in which the
external genital organs decreased in proportion to the size of
the breast and the manners became effeminate. Cameron, quoted by
Snedden, speaks of a fellow-student who had a supernumerary
nipple, and also says he saw a case in a little boy who had an
extra pair of nipples much wider than the ordinary ones. Ansiaux,
surgeon of Liege, saw a conscript of thirteen whose left mamma
was well developed like that of a woman, and whose nipple was
surrounded by a large areola. He said that this breast had always
been larger than the other, but since puberty had grown greatly;
the genital organs were well formed. Morgan examined a seaman of
twenty-one, admitted to the Royal Naval Hospital at Hong Kong,
whose right mamma, in size and conformation, had the appearance
of the well developed breast of a full-grown woman. It was
lobulated and had a large, brown-colored areola; the nipple,
however, was of the same size as that on the left breast. The man
stated that he first observed the breast to enlarge at sixteen
and a half years; since that time it had steadily increased, but
there was no milk at any time from the nipple; the external
genital organs were well and fully developed.
