Male Axillary Carcinoma Breast – A rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The reported incidence of Carcinoma Breast in male patients is 1% compared to female population . The peak age of incidence for males is 71 years, while for females it is 52 years in documented literature. Carcinoma occurring only in accessory breast tissue with normal breasts in male patient is even more rare and easily misdiagnosed. As for adenocarcinoma in the axilla is concerned, it is difficult to identify whether the origin is the mammary tissue or the skin appendages, particularly in cases where there is a poor differentiation of cellular architecture. In this study we are reporting a case of 45 year old man who presented with an left axillary ulceroproliferative lesion of 4 months duration. FNAC revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. Systemic examinations revealed no evidence of malignant or occult primary lesion in the bilateral mammary glands or in other organs. Histopathological examination of resected specimen showed adenocarcinoma of mammary tissue origin with locoregional lymph node involvement.
