Pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast in a male
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast is an extremely rare malignancy. It represents less than 0.1% of all primary invasive breast cancer. We present a case of pure squamous cell carcinoma of the breast in a male of 65 years. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first breast SCC to be reported in men. Diagnosis was first confirmed on core needle biopsy. Left-side modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy was peformed. There was no lymph node involvement. After two years, the patient developed a local recurrence that was excised. Radiotherapy was indicated. Breast SCC is aggressive and refractory to chemotherapy and radiation. Novel therapies including EGFR inhibitors may change SCC outcomes.
