Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer, nevertheless it represents a rare entity in male patients; the presentation of breast cancer as a primary occult cancer in male patients is such a rare pathology that only case reports have been described. We present a 48 year old man who developed and axillary mass which resulted to be metastatic breast cancer, he was treated in the same fashion as female patients are treated.
