Male Breast Carcinoma Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The present study reports the case of a 62 year old patient who complained of a swelling over left breast one and half months back. An ulcer developed over the swelling measuring 6×6 cm in size and it was insidous and gradually progressive in nature. The ulcer presented with a slough over left breast with irregular margins and nipple areola complex was not seen. There was negative history of trauma, chest pain, breathlessness, nausea, vomiting, hematamesis, weight loss, breast cancer in family. A biopsy of the ulcer crater which was taken revealed invasive ductal carcinoma. Metastatic workup was done which revealed multifocal lungs liver spleen and brain metastasis with TNM stage 4. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy was started and hormonal sensitivity was checked. The patient was found to be responsive to estrogen and progesterone receptor and had negative HER 2. As with many other rare “orphan” diseases, male breast cancer is understudied. The rarity of the disease precludes prospective randomized clinical trials. In addition, few researchers and minimal funding have focused on breast cancer in men, but further work is clearly needed to better understand this disease. It shares many similarities with breast cancer in women; yet some clear differences have emerged. In this article, the latest information on the epidemiology, biology, and treatment of male breast cancer is reviewed.
