    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Una ginecomastia insorta in due epilettici viene riportata. Il quadro si è sviluppato alcuni mesi dopo che ad un precedente trattamento con PB e PHT si era aggiunto fluoresone alla dose di 750 mg/die per os. Le comuni malattie sistemiche che possono determinare una ginecomastia sono state escluse. I rilievi ormonali hanno evidenziato soltanto in un caso un'iperprolattinemia ed un aumento del rapporto estrogeni-androgeni circolanti. La relazione temporale fra somministrazione del fluoresone e comparsa del quadro appare cruciate, tuttavia il meccanismo patogenetico resta da chiarire.
    Notes: Abstract Gynecomastia developed in two epileptic patients some months after the addition of oral fluoresone 750 mg daily to the phenobarbital and phenytoin already being administered. The common systemic diseases that may give rise to gynecomastia were excluded. One of the patients presented hyperprolactinemia and a raised estrogen/androgen ratio but the hormone levels were not raised in the other. The onset of symptoms after fluoresone in both cases is highly suggestive, although the pathogenetic mechanism is not clear.
