Male breast cancer (MBC), which constitutes only 1% of all breast cancer cases worldwide, is associated with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, Klinefelter’s syndrome and a positive family history of breast or ovarian malignancy. Patients with MBC typically present with a palpable subareolar mass, with or without nipple involvement. MBC can be identified by mammography and/or ultrasonography. The definitive diagnosis is made through core needle biopsy and cytology. Breast cancer in men are typically low-grade, and usually estrogen- and progesterone-receptor positive. The surgical treatment of choice is usually a modified radical mastectomy. Hormone therapy, can be used as first-line treatment for hormone-receptor positive MBC, and as adjuvant or palliative therapy for advanced cases. The use of adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy has been shown to reduce cancer recurrence and improve overall survival. We present the case of a 51-year-old male who came in due to an enlarging right breast mass that had been removed twice in the past eight years. We were able to establish that the patient had MBC, for which he subsequently underwent a modified radical mastectomy

Nonimmune hydrops fetalis(NIHF) is a heterogenous disorder resulting from a vast number of underlying pathologies. Chromsomal abnormalities underlie a large percentage of cases of NIHF in most series. There are many reports identifying the association of Turner syndrome and Trisomy 21, 18, 13 with NIHF, but few reports about Klinefelter syndrome. In this article, we experienced a case of Klinefelter syndrome combined with hydrops fetalis and report the case with brief review of literature.

Additional two cases of Klinefelter's syndrome with a literatural review was presented Two cases were revealed characteristics of Klinefelter's syndrome such as small testes, hyalinization of seminiferous tubules, azoospermia, increased FSH, normal 17-ketogteroid and positive sex chromatin. One case was associated with left inguinal crytorchidism.

The incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is known to be affected by sex hormone. Patients with Klinefelter's syndrome were reported to have abnormal sex hormonal metabolism and their chronic estrogenic stimulation seems to affect the pathogenesis of SLE. Therefore, association of SLE and Klinefelter's syndrome has been considered as a clue of the effect of sex hormone on SLE. We report the first case of Klinefelter's syndrome in a patient with SLE in Korea and discuss the association of SLE with Klinefelter's syndrome.
