Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is known for its high rate of regional lymph node and distant metastasis. However, NPC rarely metastasizes to the breast and, to the best of our knowledge, only four well-documented cases of breast metastasis have previously been reported in the literature, all of which are female. A 49-year-old male was diagnosed with NPC and developed a right breast mass five months later. Breast fine needle aspiration confirmed an abundance of metastatic squamous cells within the thickened tissue. The current study presents the first male case of breast metastases from NPC to broaden the clinical database.
鼻咽癌（NPC）以其区域淋巴结和远处转移率高而闻名。然而，NPC很少转移至乳腺，据我们所知，此前文献中仅报道过4例有充分记录的乳腺转移病例，所有这些病例均为女性。一名49岁男性被诊断为NPC，五个月后出现右乳肿块。乳腺细针穿刺证实增厚组织内有大量转移性鳞状细胞。本研究报告了首例男性NPC乳腺转移病例，以拓宽临床数据库。
