“…Isolated single-site metastasis is more common than oligo-or multiple sites involvement. Involvement of the left-sided breast in males is somehow more prevalent (L: R = 1.07:1) [15]; bi-laterality was seen in around 1% of cases [13,27]. Unlike upper-outer quadrant involvement in females, MBC occurs predominantly in the central retro-areolar portion of the breast [27,28].…”

Incidence of male breast carcinoma (MBC), although rare, recently has an increasing trend. The increase in incidence is associated with increasing age, and poor clinical outcome seen with MBC is mostly because of illiteracy and lack of health education and shyness in reporting to the clinical physician. In this context, a comprehensive review regarding this forth bursting clinical scenario is important. The present article focus on that aspect encompassing but not limited to different clinical studies. The randomized trials on MBC are sparse and most of the studies are retrospective in nature due to rarity of cases. MBC treatment line is derived from female breast cancer guidelines. MBC has a poorer prognosis than female breast cancer. MBC patients in India present in advanced stage and surgery remains challenging due to paucity of breast tissue. Post mastectomy radiation is indicated on the same lines as of female breast cancer and it decreases locoregional recurrence. Adjuvant hormonal therapy decreases recurrence and improves survival. Further clinical trials are required including large number of patients to study different parameters in respect of prognosis and survival.

Introduction: Male synchronous bilateral breast cancer, defined as contralateral breast cancer diagnosed within 12 months of a previous breast cancer, is extraordinarily rare. This case report aims to provide improved understanding of the nuances in presentation, associated risk factors, and treatment options of synchronous bilateral male breast cancer. Case Report: A 68-year-old man presented with a one-month history of palpable bilateral retroareolar breast masses. He underwent workup with a bilateral breast ultrasound which showed an irregular hypoechoic mass 8 × 8 × 6 cm in the right breast at 7 o’clock in the retroareolar region and an oval hypoechoic mass 7 × 4 × 7 cm with indistinct margins in the left breast at 8 o’clock in the retroareolar region. Subsequent ultrasound-guided core needle biopsies revealed right breast moderately differentiated invasive ductal carcinoma and left breast high grade ductal carcinoma in situ. He underwent a bilateral simple mastectomy with bilateral axillary sentinel lymph node biopsies and was started on anastrozole at his initial post-operative visit. Four-month surveillance imaging with computed tomography chest, abdomen, pelvis, and dual X-ray absorptiometry showed no evidence of local recurrence or metastases. Conclusion: Male breast cancer commonly presents as a painless retroareolar mass. Workup should include imaging studies to localize and characterize the lesion and tissue diagnosis via core needle biopsy. Treatment of male breast cancer largely includes simple mastectomy with adjuvant endocrine therapy. Future breast cancer studies should include male cohorts to improve our understanding and treatment options between the two sexes.
