On both mammography and ultrasound, the density of glandular tissue abuts the deep surface of the nipple. The pyramidal shape on ultrasound is very typical, apex to the deep surface of the nipple.

There is no connection between gynecomastia and pot smoking. In practice, you will see this condition in puberty and in senior men. Unilateral is seen slightly more commonly than bilateral. Male breast cancers are identical on imaging findings to female breast cancers.
