Analyze the management of gynecomastia and adipomastia; and identify the peculiarities in black people in a general surgery department of the CHU Sylvanus Olympio in Lomé (Togo).Descriptive retrospective study included 43 cases of gynecomastia and 5 cases of adipomastia (January 2014 to December 2020). The data taken into account were: epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and the treatment (surgery and medical). The administration of hydrocortisone (solumedrol 120mg/day) for 3days immediately after surgery and the application of shea butter on the scar were performed.Patients consult for aesthetic discomfort, especially with bilateral lesions and fear of breast cancer for unilateral lesions. Morpho-types 3 and 4 are therefore the most frequent in 75% of cases. Age was over 30years in 87% of patients. We noted retro-areolar fibrosis. The etiology was dominated by idiopathic causes. The surgery was performed in 85% of the cases. The morbidities were 5 cases of hypertrophic scars without keloid.Surgical difficulties on black skin are not only technical, but also scarring: hypertrophy and keloids. A delay in surgical management after 30years, and the prevention of unsightly scars would be a track for improving the aesthetic result. |
