title: Male accessory breast cancer successfully treated with endocrine therapy: A case report.
abstract: Male accessory breast cancer is an extremely rare tumor. Several risk factors have been identified, including genetic and hormonal abnormalities. Accessory breast carcinoma usually occurs under the axilla or in the inguinal region. Clinical diagnosis is frequently delayed due to the general lack of awareness among physicians and patients. In the present study, the case of a 63-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with accessory breast cancer at a local advanced stage was reported. However, the patient was successfully treated with endocrine therapy.
