A Rare Case of Male Breast Cancer (MBC) with Review of Literature

Abstract

Breast cancer in men is a rare condition, accounting for an estimated 0.5-1% of all breast cancer cases. Recent data indicate a slight increase in incidence, although epidemiological information on male breast cancer remains scarce compared to its female counterpart due to its rarity. Typically, this type of cancer is observed in elderly men, often in their 60s or 70s. Men with breast cancer tend to be diagnosed at advanced stages, which generally leads to poorer outcomes compared to female breast cancer (FBC). This study aims to comprehensively analyze the epidemiological factors and clinicopathological characteristics of male breast cancer patients. Key words: carcinoma breast, ductal invasive carcinoma, female carcinoma breast , male carcinoma breast
