Metwalley: Reply to commentary on "Gynecomastia in adolescent males: current understanding of its etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment"
To the editor,
Thank you for bringing this important point to our attention.
In spite that some studies reported a significantly increase incidence of gynecomastia among individuals who were marijuana smokers compared to both control patients and tobacco-only smokers, other studies reported that marijuana use is not infrequently associated with gynecomastia [1,2]. More researches are needed to clarify the relation between marijuana smoking and development of gynecomastia.
