Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Breast cancer in a male patient is an uncommon condition known by the general public yet of the same concern as in a female patient.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old male with a 25 years history of a progressive swelling in the right breast, underwent an ultrasound guided biopsy which revealed a mucinous carcinoma of grade SBR I, right mastectomy with lymph-node dissection were done. His postoperative period was uneventful and patient was a live on 7th post-operative day. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are being considered.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Being rare, breast cancer in males should be fully evaluated and investigated to avoid the associated morbidity and mortality.

CONCLUSION: Male breast cancer though rare exists and its management follows the same principles as in women. There is a need to do genetic tests to identify patients at risk and guide preventive measures in case of any breast swelling despite the gender.
