I asked ChatGPT 4o and here is the response of a potential diagnosis:
Yes, the condition you're describing is likely a form of gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia, which refers to the enlargement of breast tissue in men. When there is an unusual distribution of fat or glandular tissue, it can sometimes lead to the appearance of a "third breast" or additional bulge, particularly in cases of severe obesity.
In medical terms:
Gynecomastia involves the development of glandular breast tissue due to hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or other underlying conditions.
Pseudogynecomastia, on the other hand, is due to fat deposition in the chest area without the involvement of glandular tissue. It is more common in obesity.
If the "third breast" is distinct and asymmetric, it could also be a lipoma (a benign fatty tumor), polymastia (a rare congenital condition where extra breast tissue develops), or a localized accumulation of fat.
Consulting a healthcare professional would be necessary for an accurate diagnosis. Imaging studies (like ultrasound or MRI) are often used to confirm the cause.
