Gynaecomastia, the enlargement of the male breast, is considered as an andrological disease. To date, a review on male breast cancer (MBC) has not been published in an andrological journal. The papers underlying this review were published from authors of different institutions: Clinical Genetics, Dermatology, Gynaecology, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Pathology, Psychiatry, Radiology and Surgery. MBC accounts for approximately 1% of breast cancer patients. A total of 182 men died of breast cancer in 1999, in Germany. In the US, 1500 new cases per year occur. MBC accounts for <5% of surgically removed breast lumps. Diseases with increased oestrogen action increase the risk of MBC. Mutations of distinct genes are estimated to account for up to roughly 10% of MBC. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations are responsible for approximately 80% of the families with hereditary breast cancer. The diagnosis of MBC is not possible without histological examination. Different diagnostic procedures such as clinical diagnosis, sonography, mammography, fine-needle biopsy and core needle facilitate the decision whether a biopsy is necessary.

“…Für die statistische Auswertung wurden alle Läsionen der Typen 2 und 3 (scharf begrenzter Herdbefund) als benigne, die Typen 4 und 5 als maligne gewertet [10]. Die Sensitivität wurde definiert als rp/(rp + fn), der positive Vorhersagewert (ppv) als rp/(rp + fp), der negative Vorhersagewert (npv) als rn/(rn + fn) die Spezifität als rn/(rn + fp) und die Genauigkeit als (rp + rn)/ n [15].…”

In our study the invasive ductal carcinoma of male patients was a predominantly lobulated, ill-defined lesion in mammography and sonography. The differentiation of carcinoma to pseudogynecomastia and diffuse or dendritic gynecomastia was securely feasible. However, we could not reliably distinguish between carcinoma and some benign mass lesions. In cases of mammographically diagnosed masses or unclear mammography, additional sonography should be performed to increase the diagnostic confidence.

Klinische Relevanz der Mammographie beim Mann

Abstract: When malignancy is not suspected on clinical grounds the first examination should be sonography, mammography being reserved for cases of doubt. Where, however, malignancy is suspected, and for follow-up, mammography retains its primary position.
