Apocrine Breast Cancer With Psammoma Bodies in a Male Patient

Cutaneous metastases arising from apocrine breast carcinoma are infrequent in male patients. The precise diagnosis of invasive apocrine breast carcinoma hinges on the accurate identification of immunohistochemical markers and a clear morphological profile. A notable correlation has been observed, particularly in positive expressions of gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15) and androgen receptor. However, due to the rarity of this presentation, there is limited data on treatment modalities. Ongoing studies are investigating the potential role of anti-androgens in the treatment of apocrine breast carcinomas.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastases arising from apocrine breast carcinoma are infrequent in male patients. The precise diagnosis of invasive apocrine breast carcinoma hinges on the accurate identification of immunohistochemical markers and a clear morphological profile. A notable correlation has been observed, particularly in positive expressions of gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15) and androgen receptor. However, due to the rarity of this presentation, there is limited data on treatment modalities. Ongoing studies are investigating the potential role of anti-androgens in the treatment of apocrine breast carcinomas.
