title: Breast carcinomas in males: a case report and brief review of the literature.
abstract: Breast carcinoma accounts for 0.2% of all malignancies in males. Eighty-five percent of cases present as a subareolar mass and can be associated with ulceration or nipple discharge. Metastases, as in female breast carcinoma, are most commonly seen in the lungs, bones, brain, liver, lymph nodes, and skin. We report a case of metastatic papillary breast carcinoma in a man with involvement of the skin and briefly review diagnosis, treatment options, and risk factors for breast cancer in males.
