Abstract

Male breast cancer(MBC) is a rare disease and represents less than 1% of all malignancies in men and only 1% of all breast cancers. The mean age at diagnosis for men with breast carcinoma is older than the average age at diagnosis for women. It has a unimodal age frequency distribution that peaks at age distribution of 71 years. MBC behaves in a way similar to post menopausal breast cancer in women. The main predisposing factor is a positive family history of breast cancer. 90% tumors are ER positive. The most important prognostic indicators are stage at diagnosis and lymph node status.
