I read that arcticle a couple of days ago (I Love eMedicine.com). Also of interest was just above that:

"Increased production and/or action of estrogen can occur at the testicular level or at the periphery in one of the following manners:

• From the testes, which can be due to testicular tumors or to ectopic production of human chorionic gonadotropin as is reported with carcinoma of lung, kidney, GI tract, and extragonadal germ cell tumors
• From peripheral conversion, which can be due to increased substrate or increased activity of aromatase as in chronic liver disease, malnutrition, hyperthyroidism, adrenal tumors, and familial gynecomastia"
