A Rare Case of Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer in a Male
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Male breast cancer is rare, comprising 1% of all breast cancers and 1% of all cancers in men. Unlike in women, in men invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is very uncommon, making up 1% of all male breast cancers and 0.01% of all cancers in men. In the past, the low incidence of lobular breast cancer in men was thought to be due to a lack of lobular tissue in the male breast. However, the classical understanding of breast cancer development has been reexamined in recent years in the light of new evidence from molecular genetics studies. We present a case of a man with invasive lobular breast cancer. This case supports, and is explained by, an emerging understanding of breast cancer molecular evolution.

Synchronous bilateral male breast cancer is a very rare entity and invasive lobular carcinoma is less common in male breast cancer (MBC) than in female breast cancer (FBC). A 51-year-old man presented with a palpable mass in the left breast was finally diagnosed synchronous bilateral MBC, one an invasive lobular carcinoma and the other an invasive ductal carcinoma. It remains a matter of debate...
متن کاملInvasive lobular carcinoma of the male breast – a systematic review with an illustrative case study
Male breast cancer is rare, comprising only 1% of all mammary cancers; invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the commonest subtype in both men and women. Though lobular breast cancer is the second most common subtype seen in women, such cancers are extremely uncommon in men, and this is likely related to the lack of lobular development in the male breast. Thus, due to the rarity of this subtype a...

Carcinoma of male breast is uncommon as it accounts for 0.7% of total breast cancer. The pathology of male breast cancer is remarkably similar to that of cancers seen in women. The same histological subtypes of invasive cancer are present, although papillary carcinomas (both invasive and in situ) are more common and lobular carcinomas are less common. The predominant histological type, in males...

Lobular carcinoma in situ is a form of in situ neoplasia that develops within the terminal lobules of the breast. It is an extremely rare finding in males due to the lack of lobular development in the male breast. The authors herein report an unusual case of incidentally discovered lobular carcinoma in situ in a male patient with recurrent bilateral gynecomastia who was subsequently diagnosed w...

The condition may clinically mimic breast cancer, sometimes leading to misdiagnosis resulting in unnecessary breast surgery.We report two ca...
