“…To our knowledge, there have been only nine reports of male patients with SBA. A summary of the characteristics of the previous nine cases and our two patients are shown in Table 1 [ 11 , 15 – 19 ]. Most patients were generally under 45 years of age; patient 2 presented herein is an exception to this trend.…”

Male breast can show almost all pathological entities described in female breast. Inflammatory conditions of the breast in male are not common; however, occasionally, it can be encountered in the form of an abscess. Clinically, gynecomastia always presents as a symmetric unilateral or bilateral lump in the retroareolar region, and any irregular asymmetric lump raises a possibility of malignancy. Radiology should be used as a part of the triple assessment protocol for breast lump along with fine-needle aspiration cytology for definite diagnosis and proper management.

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. IJCRI publishes Review ABSTRACTIntroduction: Subareolar abscess in the male breast is extremely rare. The main concern with this condition is performing the differential diagnosis, since clinically it often resembles breast cancer. Case Report: A 30-year-old Japanese male presented with pain and swelling of the left breast. Physical examination revealed a 3.0x3.0 cm palpable lump with redness of the skin in the left subareolar region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed a ring-enhancing mass without wash out with central necrosis below the left nipple, suggesting subareolar abscess. A core needle biopsy was performed, and histological findings revealed granulation tissue with the infiltration of numerous neutrophils, a finding that was compatible with subareolar abscess. Conclusion: Male subareolar abscess is quite a rare disease, however, awareness of how to perform differential diagnosis of subareolar abscess and the use of MRI scan may help in making a definitive diagnosis of subareolar abscess in the male breast and might aid in the proper management of the condition.
