Male breast carcinoma and the use of MRI.
MRI is well established in the diagnosis of female breast cancer, with an important role as a problem-solving tool in the postoperative breast and in implant evaluation. Little in the literature mentions the use of MRI in male breast cancer, with there is no clear role for its use at present. We present an unusual case of bilateral male breast carcinoma and demonstrate a similar enhancement pattern to that described in female breast cancer; we also suggest other potential applications of MRI for the male breast.
