A fibroadenoma within the male breast remains a rarely diagnosed entity. Though it was once believed that a fibroadenoma could not exist within a male breast, this has now been demonstrated as incorrect by several reported cases. Most have been in individuals with gynecomastia. There are only a handful of reported cases of men with a diagnosed fibroadenoma in the absence of gynecomastia. We describe a man in his 80s with a left breast fibroadenoma and no features of gynecomastia or hormonal alterations. Based on our findings, we suggest that for men of all ages presenting with a breast lesion, a fibroadenoma remains a possible diagnosis.
