title: Male breast carcinoma in situ. Report of a case diagnosed by nipple discharge cytology alone.
abstract: A case of male breast carcinoma is reported, whose only clinical sign was a serous nipple discharge. The presence in the cytologic smears of atypical epithelial cells organized in a papillary structure suggested a papillary neoplasia, which at the histologic examination was found to be a ductal carcinoma in situ.
