Male breast cancer is rare, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 833 males, with bilateral male breast cancer being extremely uncommon. This report describes a rare case of bilateral breast cancer in a 74-year-old male who presented with a breast lump and incidental calcifications in the contralateral breast. This case highlights the similarities, as well as differences, in presentation and imaging features of breast cancer in males and females. It also demonstrates how Magnetic Resonance Imaging can be a useful tool for pre-treatment planning of certain male breast cancers, especially to evaluate disease extent and to identify contralateral tumor.
男性乳腺癌较为罕见，男性一生中患乳腺癌的风险为1/833，双侧男性乳腺癌极为少见。本报告描述了一例74岁男性双侧乳腺癌的罕见病例，该患者表现为乳腺肿块，对侧乳腺有偶然发现的钙化灶。该病例突出了男性和女性乳腺癌在临床表现和影像学特征方面的异同。它还展示了磁共振成像如何能成为某些男性乳腺癌治疗前规划的有用工具，特别是用于评估疾病范围和识别对侧肿瘤。
