Abstract
Objective: This article aims to report a case of breast cancer in a male patient, who also had tumor lysis syndrome and suspected metastasis to the cranial vault. Case details: The present study reports the case of a male patient, 77 years old, with no family history of cancer, who presented with gynecomastia and an irregular mass in the infra-axillary region, with central cystic degeneration, classified as BIRADS IV-A. The patient evolved with tumor lysis syndrome and also had multiple lytic bone lesions scattered throughout the skull, with the possibility of secondary neoplastic involvement. Final considerations: Breast cancer in men is usually diagnosed in more advanced stages and is usually managed according to the procedures recommended for female breast cancer. It is important to understand the disease and its clinical manifestations, as well as to raise awareness about this type of cancer in men. In addition, further studies on specific therapeutic options for male breast cancer are needed to establish an evidence-based standard of care for this population.
