He is probably taking spironolactone, which has gynecomastia as a S/E...it would also contradict the lack of aldosterone associated with Addisons.

The mechanism of spironolactone induced gynecomastia is what? Is it because it has internal estrogen inducing capabilities, not sure though!!

Spironolactone is chemically similar to some sex steroids, and so has some minor hormonal activity.
