Abstract
The patient was 69-years-old farmer, who had an operation for the right gynecomastia on December, 1967. About 6 years later, on October, 1973, he was admitted to the hospital, complaining of a mass of the left breast for about 3 months. Physical examination on admission revealed a small finger tip-sized, movable and painless subareolar mass of the left breast. No enlarged lymphnodes were palpated in the left axilla, and laboratory findings were within normal limits. Excisional biopsy was performed and the tumor was reported as adenocarcinoma. As the patient refused radical operation, he was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Now he is well without recurrence.
The relationship between male breast cancer and gynecomastia was discussed.
