Male breast disease includes a wide spectrum of conditions. Many conditions and entities that affect the female breast may also affect the male breast.

Male breast cancer is exceptionally rare and only accounts for less than 0.25% of male malignancies and ~0.5-1% of all breast cancer (both genders)

This case was diagnosed by core biopsy as invasive ductal carcinoma and came for staging, showing a right breast mass and no definite distant metastasis.

Histopathology report:

The sections show features of invasive ductal carcinoma composed of cells arranged in nests and cords separated by desmoplastic stroma. There is ulceration of the skin and the tumor is seen extending to the ulcerated site. perineural invasion is noted.

Diagnosis: invasive ductal carcinoma, NOS, overall grade 3

Surgery performed by Dr. Mohamad Naser, and my sincere thanks for him.
