Invasive Papillary Carcinoma of the Breast in a Male: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Breast tumors are commonly found in women. Hereby we report a case of invasive papillary carcinoma of the breast in a 65 years old male who presented at our department with 6 months history of left breast pain. Ultrasonographic (US) examination showed a well demarcated nodule measuring 1,8 cm of diameter. A biopsy was performed and the pathological examination revealed an invasive carcinoma not otherwise specified. After discussion the patient underwent modified radical mastectomy, which showed invasive solid papillary carcinoma. The patient has been well on adjuvant chemotherapy without any recurrence for 6 months.
