- Abstract
Breast cancer in men is rare; it represents 0.6% of all breast carcinomas and less than 15% of all cancers in men. The intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast in men is extremely rare with only a few reports in the current literature. It represents 5 to 7.5% of all breast cancers in men. The exact etiology of breast cancer in men is currently unknown. However, some risk factors have been reported such as: gynecomastia, exposure to radiation, imbalance in the estrogen-testosterone ratio, androgen deficiency, obesity, family history of breast cancer, mutations in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes. We report a case of a 78 year old man with no significant clinical history, that presents with thickening and ulceration of the skin, retraction of the nipple with occasional telorrhea and a palpable nodule. Mammography revealed a retroareolar oval nodule, complemented by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging observing a predominantly cystic heterogeneous lesion with a solid mural component. An ultrasound guided biopsy was performed confirming the diagnosis.
