"Normal male breast tissue" refers to the typical structure of a man's chest area. Just like women, men also have breast tissue, but it is usually small and unnoticeable. This tissue is made up of a few ducts, fat, and connective tissue, but it does not have the milk-producing parts that women have. It is considered normal when it is not enlarged or showing any signs of disease or abnormality.
