A rare case report of solitary neurofibroma arising in the male breast

To our knowledge, this is only the fourth case of its kind and the only one to provide gross imagery and two separate confirmatory pathology reports. Implications of the findings include continued preferred management via surgical excision, remaining awareness of rare tumors, and additional evidence for the possible prevalence of rare male breast tumors that may have been previously not considered.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is only the fourth case of its kind and the only one to provide gross imagery and two separate confirmatory pathology reports. Implications of the findings include continued preferred management via surgical excision, remaining awareness of rare tumors, and additional evidence for the possible prevalence of rare male breast tumors that may have been previously not considered.
