Synchronous bilateral breast cancer in a patient with Klinefelter's syndrome.
Synchronous bilateral male breast cancer (MBC) is rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The majority of MBC patients have no definable risk factors. We describe a case with Klinefelter's syndrome, prior thymic irradiation, testicular surgery, and first degree family history in a 61-year-old male.
