Surg Today. 2001;31(9):806-9. doi: 10.1007/s005950170052.

Abstract

We experienced a very rare case of male intracystic breast carcinoma. A 66-year-old man presented at our hospital because of a palpable mass in his right breast. The imaging diagnosis was an intracystic carcinoma with hemorrhagic fluid and two mural nodules. Modified radical mastectomy was performed under general anesthesia. The pathological examination revealed the intracystic papillary carcinoma with foci of microinvasion. The findings of power Doppler ultrasonography and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging were very useful for the differential diagnosis of our case.
