Abstract

A case of advanced male breast cancer which masqueraded as recurrent abscess of the right breast is presented to highlight the role of contra-lateral rectus abdominis pedicled myocutaneous flap in providing adequate skin and soft tissue cover in male breast reconstruction. This was carried out for this patient following a modified radical mastectomy for stage III (T2b, N2, M0) intraductal carcinoma of the breast. The patient has remained well without clinical features of distant metastasis at a follow up period of two years despite periodic excision of locally recurrent cancer nodules from the affected breast.
