Abstract

Introduction: Regarding male breast cancer, a rare disease comprising ∼1% of breast cancers, data are generally scant. The present study aimed to quantify the imaging detected breast cancer in male gender corpses, determining in this way the prevalence of silent breast cancer in male gender.

Methodology: The population target has been male corpses without clinical expression of breast cancer. Seventy-four male corpses have been submitted to bilateral subcutaneous radical mastectomy. Samples have been submitted to echography and mammography imaging and every lesion superior to BI-RADS 4a has been excised.

Results: One excisional biopsy has been performed and no case of breast cancer has been identified.

Discussion: Our findings suggest that screening of the general population for male breast cancer is not necessary.

尸检标本中影像学检测到的沉默男性乳腺癌的患病率：通过图像引导活组织检查发现疾病的研究。

导言：男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病，占乳腺癌的 1%，但有关男性乳腺癌的数据却很少。本研究旨在量化男性尸体中影像学检测到的乳腺癌，从而确定男性无声乳腺癌的发病率：研究对象是没有乳腺癌临床表现的男性尸体。有 74 具男性尸体接受了双侧皮下乳房根治性切除术。对样本进行了回声和乳房 X 射线成像检查，并切除了所有 BI-RADS 4a 以上的病灶：结果：进行了一次切除活检，未发现一例乳腺癌病例：讨论：我们的研究结果表明，没有必要对普通人群进行男性乳腺癌筛查。
