Radiographic characteristics of male breast cancer.
The authors studied 171 male breast tumors (20 cancers and 151 benign lesions) from 1969 to 1977. A proposed symptomatic triad can lead to an early radiological diagnosis of male breast cancer, even without evidence of advanced disease: small mass, well defined contours, and eccentric location in relation to the nipple.
