Epidermal inclusion cysts in the male breast.
The authors present the second and third reported cases of an epidermal inclusion cyst presenting as a breast mass in a male. In each of the two patients the mass appeared on mammography as a well-defined, noncalcified mass, and breast cancer was suspected. Biopsy was required to establish the correct diagnosis.
