ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is an uncommon neoplasia in men with less than
1% of the cases reported in this gender and of the total number
of cases diagnosed. The association of this disease with women
causes a low suspicion in men that can lead to misdiagnosis and
mistreatment, and lead to a somber prognosis in those presenting
with an advanced stage. The clinical features, diagnostic
methods and treatment are similar to those in women but
in general, it carries a worse prognosis because of the scarce
breast tissue that allows for an early lymphatic invasion. Herein,
we report two male patients with breast cancer diagnosed late,
and emphasize the importance of considering this entity in men.
