1/6. Intracystic papillary carcinoma in the male breast. A case report.male breast cancer is a rare disease with an incidence between 0.5% and 2.4% of that in women. We report a case of intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast in a 75-year-old Japanese man. The macroscopic features of the carcinoma could be accurately demonstrated by pneumocystography and ultrasonography preoperatively.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. The dermatologist's role in diagnosing a rare disease--male breast cancer.After discussing the rarity of male breast carcinoma, I present the case of a 75-year-old white man who, during an office visit for a second opinion regarding his eczema, was found to have breast cancer. (While examining the patient's integument, I found an inverted nipple and a subareolar mass.) I also discuss the need for dermatologists to emphasize to their patients the importance of complete general skin examinations. This case is, I believe, the first case of invasive primary male breast carcinoma to be reported in the dermatologic literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. Myofibroblastoma of the breast in an adolescent.A case of myofibroblastoma of the breast was recently diagnosed in an adolescent Omani boy. In this report, the clinical, histopathological and the radiological features of this rare disease are being discussed. We conclude that, myofibroblastoma of the breast, which was earlier described, predominantly, in elderlies, can occur in people from any age group.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Invasive papillary carcinoma of the male breast.Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the male breast is a very rare disease with only a few cases reported in the literature. A case is described and the additional value of MRI is discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the MRI findings of an intracystic papillary carcinoma of the male breast.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. A case of intracystic papillary carcinoma with a multilocular cyst of the breast in male.Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast in males is a very rare disease but has an excellent prognosis. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who had a right subareolar soft mass. Imaging examinations showed a multilocular cyst with an intracystic component, and benign disease was diagnosed. Fine needle aspiration of the cyst fluid revealed many malignant cells, and modified radical mastectomy was performed under general anesthesia. Histological examination showed intracystic papillary carcinoma with a multilocular cyst. No positive lymph nodes were involved. The diagnosis of intracystic papillary carcinoma of male breast should be made carefully to avoid misdiagnosing benign disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate scintimammography in male breast cancer.breast cancer in men is a rare disease, representing less than 1% of all breast cancers. Recently, scintimammography with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) has been proposed as an effective method in the differential diagnosis of breast masses. A 67-yr-old man with breast cancer that showed avid accumulation of 99mTc-MDP is presented in this article. Infiltrative ductal carcinoma was demonstrated histopathologically.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = rare disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
