Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Breast cancer in males are uncommon, accounting to less than 1% of all breast cancers and less than 1.5% of all malignancies in men. We report a case of 70 years old male patient who came with complaints of painless swelling in the left breast and axillary region. Patient was advised Fine needle aspiration cytology from the swelling in the left axillary region. Fine needle aspiration cytology from the left axillary region revealed metastatic carcinoma of breast. Modified radical mastectomy was done and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. He was diagnosed to have invasive cribriform ductal carcinoma based on histology. Periodic Acid Schiff was done to differentiate it from other mimickers like adenoid cystic carcinoma and cribriform ductal carcinoma in situ. Male breast carcinoma is an uncommon entity. Subtyping is important to determine the prognosis. Invasive cribriform ductal carcinoma has a good prognosis after complete surgical removal. We are sending this case report of Invasive cribriform carcinoma of male breast for publication because of its rare occurrence.
