Gynecomastia in a case of hairy cell leukaemia--cladribine induced?

Borges Road, Mumbai-400012, India.
Gynecomastia is benign enlargement of the male breast and is commonly
drug induced. Various drugs are responsible and chemotherapeutic drugs
can also cause gynecomastia. Cladribine is now widely used for the
treatment of hairy cell leukaemia. We present a case report of
development of unilateral gynecomastia in a case of hairy cell leukaemia
treated with cladribine and question whether this was induced by the
chemotherapy.
