It's breast tissue.

Yeah, I read a few posts quite a while ago about some guys who had those 'string' like things that they could feel on the side of their chest...  Geeze, can't remember what they called them now...

Maybe one of the Docs will fill us in...

There are many pictures of glands removed from gynecomastia that can be found on my site.  The problem with these pictures of the glands out of the body is like taking a picture of a jelly fish out of water.

With a mammogram male breast xray, there is a central mass under the nipple.  However, you can see that the gland has fingers of gland that extend between fingers of fat.  These cords of firmer tissue sometimes can be felt, at other times they are not.

Check out this Anatomy of Gynecomastia of the Male Breast.

Hope this helps,
