Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease although its incidence has increased over the recent years. Like other orphan diseases, male breast cancer is understudied. This disease has a lot of similarities with female breast cancer. Some differences are yet noticeable. This article describes three cases of carcinoma of the breast in men with a review of the literature on risk factors and treatment. A database must be started with epidemiologic information to understand this disease and its correlation with breast cancer in women.
男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病，尽管其发病率近年来有所上升。与其他罕见病一样，男性乳腺癌的研究较少。这种疾病与女性乳腺癌有许多相似之处。但一些差异也很明显。本文描述了三例男性乳腺癌病例，并对其危险因素和治疗的文献进行了综述。必须建立一个包含流行病学信息的数据库，以了解这种疾病及其与女性乳腺癌的关联。
