Presentation
Overall 5-year survival was 50%, but, due to the late age at presentation, more than half the deaths were non-breast cancer related. One quarter of the patients presented with locally advanced or metastatic disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lymphadenopathy
Examination showed an ulcerating cutaneous mass over the left anterior chest wall, left axillary lymphadenopathy and tenderness over the spine. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
No skin involvement or axillary lymphadenopathy was seen. A clinical diagnosis of primary breast neoplasm or a metastatic lesion was considered and the lump excised. [ijpmonline.org]
Axillary lymphadenopathy. Investigations Refer to a local one-stop breast clinic if there is any doubt or any suspicion of breast cancer. Imaging: mammography or ultrasonography. [patient.info]

Breast Mass
An 82-year-old man presented with a right breast mass. Histologic examination of an excisional biopsy showed lobular in situ and infiltrating carcinoma. The patient was phenotypically male and had fathered children. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Workup from a radiological point of view is the same as for women including the use of needle biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The average age of diagnosis of male breast cancer is 60-70 years, which is later than female breast cancer. [radiopaedia.org]
Therefore a diagnostic workup was still required to distinguish and confirm the actual presenting problem of the physical findings. 1. Ductal carcinoma in situ - These tumors are a category of breast cancer in men. [ispub.com]

Treatment
Treatment is similar to that of women with breast cancer. Men with axillary nodal metastasis should receive adjuvant systemic combination chemotherapy or tamoxifen, or both, after primary surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
BACKGROUND: Considerable debate exists concerning the prognosis of breast cancer in male patients compared with that in female patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Although the underlying etiology of male breast cancer may be partially due to hormonal or environmental changes, this disease is rare compared to female breast cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of male breast cancer remains poorly understood, but an imbalance in the estrogen-testosterone ratio is definitely implicated. [cancerjournal.net]
However, there has been inconsistent data about link between liver cirrhosis and male breast cancer, which can be due to heterogenity in the etiology of cirrhosis. [kci.go.kr]

Epidemiology
The epidemiology, prognostic factors, survival by stage, pattern of metastasis, and response to treatment in men are similar to those in women with breast carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
The low incidence of this disease prevents therapeutic questions from being addressed in prospective randomized trials. As such, treatment algorithms have generally been extrapolated from those used in female breast cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
