Male breast cancer is a rare disease, and it is important to have a high index of suspicion in patients presenting with breast symptoms, such as a breast mass or nipple discharge. Most male patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer present with breast complaints and/or a strong family history of cancer. Here, we will present a 47-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with bilateral ductal carcinoma in situ during a routine gynecomastia surgery after massive weight loss. This case demonstrates the importance of sending breast tissue specimens for pathology, especially in a male patient.
男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病,对于出现乳房症状(如乳房肿块或乳头溢液)的患者保持高度怀疑指数很重要。大多数被诊断出患有乳腺癌的男性患者都有乳房不适主诉和/或强烈的癌症家族史。在此,我们将介绍一名47岁男性患者,他在大量体重减轻后的常规男性乳腺增生手术中被诊断为双侧原位导管癌。该病例证明了将乳房组织标本送检病理检查的重要性,尤其是对于男性患者。
