Male breast cancer accounts for 1% of all breast cancer cases, and men tend to be diagnosed at an older age than women (mean age is about 67 years). Several risk factors have been identified, such as genetic and hormonal abnormalities. The present study reported the case of a 25-year-old man who was diagnosed with an advanced invasive ductal carcinoma; however, he did not have any important risk factors. Even though more data is emerging about this disease, more efforts to understand risk factors, treatment options and survival benefits are needed. In this case, we discussed the risk factors as well as the impaired fertility associated with breast cancer therapies.
男性乳腺癌占所有乳腺癌病例的 1%，男性的诊断年龄通常比女性大（平均年龄约为 67 岁）。已经确定了一些风险因素，如遗传和激素异常。本研究报告了一例 25 岁男性被诊断为晚期浸润性导管癌的病例；然而，他没有任何重要的危险因素。尽管关于这种疾病的更多数据正在出现，但仍需要更多努力来了解风险因素、治疗选择和生存获益。在这种情况下，我们讨论了与乳腺癌治疗相关的风险因素和生育能力受损问题。
