Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease with a low annual prevalence in Western countries. Venous thromboembolism may be associated during malignancy of the breast. We report a 70-year-old man who presented with superficial vein thrombosis of right upper limb that predicted the diagnosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Key issues surrounding the diagnosis, treatment, and relationship between breast cancer and venous disorders are discussed. Breast cancer and venous thromboembolism are 2 conditions that are often correlated more than expected, and attention to the combination of these clinical presentations is required.
男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病，在西方国家年发病率较低。在乳腺癌恶性肿瘤期间可能会伴有静脉血栓栓塞。我们报告一名70岁男性，其出现右上肢浅静脉血栓形成，随后确诊为乳腺浸润性导管癌。本文讨论了围绕乳腺癌诊断、治疗以及乳腺癌与静脉疾病之间关系的关键问题。乳腺癌和静脉血栓栓塞这两种情况的相关性往往高于预期，需要关注这些临床表现的组合。
