INVASIVE LOBULAR CARCINOMA OF THE MALE BREAST- A CASE REPORT

Bhal Singh, Santosh Kumari

Abstract :

Male east cancer comprises only 1% of all mammary cancers. Invasive ductal carcinoma is the commonest subtype in both men and women. Though lobular east cancer is commonly seen in women, but it is extremely uncommon in men. It can be due to lack of lobular development in male east. We report a case of 70 years old male who presented to OPD with right east painless growth without any significant medical or family history. Fine needle aspiration revealed findings consistent with invasive carcinoma. The patient underwent modified right radical mastectomy with right axillary sampling.Histological examination showed invasive lobular carcinoma.Lobular east cancer is difficult to explain and need further research to understand its pathogenesis and molecular profile to provide better vision for improved therapeutic management options.
