Secretory carcinoma of breast in a 17-year-old male.
BACKGROUND
Secretory carcinoma of the male breast (juvenile carcinoma) is a rare neoplasm. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature.


METHODS
We report here a case in a 17-year old male presenting with recurrent breast swelling.


CONCLUSIONS
Though considered an indolent neoplasm, secretory carcinoma does metastasise to lymph nodes and recur after local excision. Surgery in form of mastectomy with axillary clearance is the treatment of choice.
