Abstract:
Breast carcinoma in men is very rare but is a potentially life-threatening neoplasm. The most common form of clinical presentation is a painless, firm, retroareolar mass. However, in some cases, primary focus of the tumor may not be detected but present with metastatic lesions. We report a case of male breast carcinoma presented with axillary lymph node enlargement and subsequent erythematous infiltration of chest wall in a 60-year-old man. Histopathologic examination showed invasive ductal carcinoma of breast, and both estrogen and progesterone receptors were weakly positive.
