Very, very unlikely. More likely is ..gynecomastia.Approximately three out of every four teenage males will develop temporary excess glandular breast tissue during puberty. In over ninety percent of the cases of gynecomastia and teens, the condition will resolve on its own within three years of onset. One-third of the cases of gynecomastia and teens will resolve within the first year of development.
Very common and nothing to worry about.

The chances of a 16 year old boy having breast cancer are as close to zero as makes no difference. If you had it your case would make news headlines worldwide and would be one for the record books.

Not because males don’t get breast cancer, they do. But it’s extremely rare; fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. Most men diagnosed with it are over 60.

80% of all people diagnosed with breastcancer are over 50. It’s rare in women under 40, fewer than 0.1% of women diagnosed are under 30, and it’s almost unheard of in under 25s.

So you can see how unlikely it would be for a teenage male to have breast cancer.

See your doctor about the discharge; but stop worrying about breast cancer.

Anybody at any age can get breast cancer although it is most common in Women from the age of 30. Please see you doctor if you are concerned. A lump can be anything from a cyst to a tumor. Only your doctor can diagnose this.
