title: A case of synchronous bilateral separate primary male breast carcinomas.
abstract: Breast carcinoma in the male is uncommon, but to find a case of bilateral synchronous primary separate carcinomas is extremely rare. We report on the management of such a case, illustrating current concepts in therapy. This case highlights the fact that, as in the female, bilateral breast carcinomas can occur in the male and the attending surgeon should remain vigilant at all times when treating unilateral disease.
