ABSTRACT
Breast cancer in men is a rare and infrequent
disease, which occurs in a very small proportion with
respect to different types of cancers. Such entity is
the 0.2 to 1.5 % of all malignant tumors in men.
Imaging studies have a very precise diagnostic value
in these entities. It is presented the case of a male
patient with apparent healthy history who comes the
consultation due to palpating a "ball" in the left
breast, this patient went to the Imaging Department
for conducting a mammography as well performing a
study with oblique craniocaudal views and a middle
lateral of both nipples. Breast ultrasonography
showed a nodular, homogeneous image. It was
made a referral to multidiscipline breast consultation
with surgical possibilities for the tumor. Due to the
infrequent appearance of this entity in men, it is
decided to make this case report.
