  ABSTRACT: Gynecomastia is a common finding in male patients, however, abscess is a rare finding in male patients. Typical management for benign gynecomastia is to continued surveillance and no additional annual imaging is required [1]. Breast abscess in male is managed with incision and drainage and antibiotics [2], however, the management of gynecomastia superimposed with recurrent ab-scess does not have clear management and should be managed on an indi-vidual basis. We present a case of a 44-year-old man who with a recurrent left breast abscess in addition to persistent gynecomastia. The abscess was drained and cultured. The culture grew Citrobacter koseri(diversus) and patient was placed on Bactrim DS for 7 days and was referred to the breast clinic for fur-ther evaluation. This study aims to elucidate and review the literature to iden-tify similar cases and potential management of male patients with recurrent abscess and gynecomastia.
