Radiol Case Rep. 2024 Sep 19;19(12):6053-6056. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2024.08.110. eCollection 2024 Dec.

Abstract

Male breast cancer is an uncommon condition, accounting for less than 1% of all breast carcinomas and under 1.5% of all malignant tumors in men. Skin lesions can often be the initial reason for consultation. At this advanced stage, diagnosis is typically delayed, leading to a poor prognosis. Herein, we report the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with a dermo-epidermal axillary mass, indicative of cutaneous metastasis from an invasive ductal carcinoma.

Keywords: Breast carcinoma; Cutaneous metastasis; Male.
