Carcinoma of the male breast is responsible for less than 1% of all malignancies in men, but the prognosis is poor. Being diagnosed at an older age and advanced stage both affect the prognosis. Surgical treatment of elderly patients with co-morbid diseases is challenging. Unfortunately, these patients do not receive chemotherapy due to poor overall status. Mastectomy with local anesthesia may be an option for these patients. We aimed to present an elderly male patient who underwent successful mastectomy and axillary dissection under local anesthesia.
男性乳腺癌占男性所有恶性肿瘤的比例不到1%,但其预后较差。诊断时年龄较大和处于晚期均会影响预后。对患有合并症的老年患者进行手术治疗具有挑战性。不幸的是,这些患者由于整体状况较差而未接受化疗。局部麻醉下的乳房切除术可能是这些患者的一种选择。我们旨在介绍一名老年男性患者,其在局部麻醉下成功接受了乳房切除术和腋窝淋巴结清扫术。
