INVASIVE DUCTAL CARCINOMA OF BREAST IN A 53 Y OLD MALE: A RARE CASE REPORT WITH LITERATURE REVIEW

Male breast cancer is infrequently seen, representing less than 1% of all breast cancer cases and less than 1.5% of all cancers in men. Because of a lack of awareness, it leads to late presentation and diagnosis. Because of its rarity, very little is known about its risk factors, including hormonal and genetic anomalies. According to certain research, the distribution of tumor subtypes in male breast cancer differs from that in female breast cancer, which could indicate significant biological and prognostic variations. Larger studies need to be conducted stating which genetic abnormalities contribute to breast cancer in men and in determining which markers serve as crucial prognostic indicators. Our case is a 53-year-old male who presented with advanced-stage breast cancer with axillary lymphadenopathy in a setting of multiple neurofibromas.
