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]
Examination showed an ulcerating cutaneous mass over the left anterior chest wall, left axillarylymphadenopathy and tenderness over the spine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
No skin involvement or axillarylymphadenopathy was seen. A clinical diagnosis of primary breast neoplasm or a metastatic lesion was considered and the lump excised.[ijpmonline.org]

He initially presented with a 2-week history of difficulty walking because of bilateral hip and lower backpain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In July 1999, the patient visited the hospital because of backpain. Tumor markers were measured as high (Ca15–3, 72.9 U/ml; CEA, 42.6 ng/ml). Whole-body bone scintigraphy showed multiple bone metastases.[academic.oup.com]

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]
