Male Breast Cancer (MBC) is a rare disease representing less than 1% of all malignancies in men and only 1% of all incident breast cancers. Our study details incidence of male breast carcinoma at a Tertiary Cancer Centre. Thirteen patients were collected from 2007 to 2015 at the Curie Manavata Cancer Centre, Nashik. The main complaint was a mass beneath the areola. All were ductal carcinomas. Management consisted of radical mastectomy; radiotherapy and hormonal therapy with or without chemotherapy. Two patients presented with metastasis, the site of metastasis was lung. Male breast cancer has many similarities to breast cancer in women, but there are distinct features that should be appreciated. Future research for better understanding of this disease at various levels is needed to improve the management and prognosis of male patients.

Introduction: Dubin Johnson syndrome (DJs) is a benign disease of bilirubin metabolism, which causes only jaundice since birth, but there are no other symptoms or signs. DJs is so rare that its exact incidence in Indian population is not known. Incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (Icc) is around 3.3%. Occurrence of DJs simultaneous with hepatobiliary malignancies has been reported four times previously, predominantly in the Japanese population.
