Abstract
Male breast cancer is a relatively rare neoplasm. This is a report case of male breast cancer treated by modified radical mastectomy with post operative radiation and chemotherapy using anthracyclin-based regimens. The patient remained well without evidence of disease or serious complication. Several investigators have reported that Male breast cancer occurs at an older age than female breast cancer and is frequently diagnosed at a later stage. Mammography and ultrasonography are useful to distinguish between breast cancer and gynecomastia. Tumors are predominantly estrogen and progesterone positive. Tamoxifen is effective for fi rst-line hormonal therapy. Radiation should be use in patients at high risk for local recurrence. Prognosis is approximately equivalent to that of breast cancer in females when matched for age, stage and hormonal receptors. The literatures are review.
