ABSTRACT
Background: Male breast cancer is a rare entity, with
an approximate rate of 1.1 / 100 000 in the US, with an
average age of 67 years. In all cases a genetic study
must be performed, in order to find mutations in known
genes, and after the resolution of the disease, based
on the results, a contralateral prophylactic mastectomy
should be considered
Clinical case: 53 -year-old male diagnosed with right
breast cancer, infiltrating ductal adenocarcinoma type,
clinical stage IIB, breast cancer on 2 immediate family
history, mutations of the BRCA1 gene and positive
hormone receptors and Her2/Neu. He was treated with
modified radical mastectomy in diseased side with
subsequent neoadjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy.
After a year of follow-up and a free behavior of
disease, contralateral prophylactic mastectomy was
performed. The patient progressed satisfactorily,
following up to 18 months since the beginning, with no
tumor activity data.
Conclusions: Breast cancer in male patient has a
worse prognosis than female patients, due to lower
amount of tissue in breast exposed to an earlier chest
spread and a different biological behavior, also a
higher risk of prostate and pancreatic cancer is
associated. Studies of adequate methodological quality
are scarce, so that decisions are based on guidelines
for breast cancer in women.
