Most of male breast masses are benign with gynecomastia being the most common entity encountered. Primary male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of the total number of breast cancer. Male breast can be affected by a variety of conditions affecting the female breast with less frequency due to the lack of hormonal influence and consequent glandular sub-development. Imaging features of male breast masses are quite similar to the female breast. Therefore, using the knowledge of the female breast and applying it may help in the diagnosis and management of male breast abnormalities. In this article, we aim to review a variety of unusual male breast masses. We discuss the demographics of male breast tumors, describe the diagnostic algorithm for evaluating male breast masses, and review the imaging features of rare breast masses and mimickers of male breast cancer.
大多数男性乳腺肿块是良性的，男性乳腺增生是最常见的情况。原发性男性乳腺癌占乳腺癌总数的不到1%。由于缺乏激素影响以及随之而来的腺体发育不全，男性乳腺会受到各种影响女性乳腺的疾病影响，但其发生率较低。男性乳腺肿块的影像学特征与女性乳腺非常相似。因此，运用关于女性乳腺的知识并将其应用，可能有助于男性乳腺异常的诊断和管理。在本文中，我们旨在综述各种不常见的男性乳腺肿块。我们讨论男性乳腺肿瘤的人口统计学特征，描述评估男性乳腺肿块的诊断算法，并综述罕见乳腺肿块及男性乳腺癌模仿者的影像学特征。
