Yes males can develop breast tissue. This usually happens when the male has a lot of body fat as body fat creates estrogen (the female hormone) and in turn they develop breast tissue due to high levels of estrogen.
In the 1970's, studies indicated that as many as 1 in 500 males could have an extra chromosome that leads to the XXY combinantion that is known as Klienfelter Syndrome. Even though it is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities, a very small percentage of males ever develop the symptoms. For those who develop the symptoms, one of which is breast development, their risk of getting breast cancer is almost equal to that of women.
Yes, males can develop breast cancer, although it is much less common than in females. Breast cancer in men accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. However, it is essential for men to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and to seek medical attention if they notice any changes in their breast tissue.
